UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As a result of a recent court ruling, the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) face mask requirement for all transportation networks, including public transportation, is no longer being enforced.

Effective immediately, masking while using Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) services and in its Customer Service Center is now optional. Masks also will be optional on Penn State’s Campus Shuttle and Hershey Shuttle. Riders wishing to continue wearing masks are encouraged to do so.

Visit the TSA website for additional information. For CATA-related questions, call 814-238-CATA (2282) or email catabus@cata.com. For Campus Shuttle or Hershey Shuttle questions, call 814-865-7571 or email shuttles@psu.edu.
