Centro transit hubs
Centro’s transit hubs in Syracuse and Utica will reopen with restricted access, only allowing customers to access ticket vending machines. Waiting areas and restrooms will remain closed.
Each facility will be open from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
Each facility will limit the number of customers allowed inside at once and all customers will be required to wear face coverings when accessing the building to use the ticket-vending machines.
Customer-service representatives will be onsite from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Syracuse and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Utica.
Safety protocols
Centro has implemented the following safety protocols and procedures to combat the spread of COVID-19.
The organization has installed barriers on Centro buses to separate customers and bus operators as passengers board through the front door and pay their fare.
Centro maintenance staff wipes down and disinfects each of its buses and “frequently touched” areas at its transit facilities with a germicidal disinfectant each day. The buses are regularly fogged with a germicidal disinfectant.
Centro also “strongly encourages” its customers to wear face coverings while riding on the buses, but it will not turn away those who don’t.
When available, Centro will provide additional buses to handle heavy loads.
