TSA directive on COVID-19
- Passengers are required to wear masks at terminals, intercity bus boarding/disembarking areas, and onboard the motorcoach. There are very limited exemptions to wearing a mask.
- Any passenger who refuses to comply may be denied boarding and may be removed from the vehicle/facility before reaching their final destination. If there are any incidents involving non-compliant passengers, in addition to notifying law enforcement, operators are directed to report the incident to the TSA Transportation Security Operations Center (TSOC). TSA may pursue civil penalties against non-compliant passengers.
- Drivers are also required to wear masks, however exemptions may be made to ensure operational safety and should be in compliance with workplace health and safety rules or other regulations/guidance. For example, "Cloth face coverings or masks should not be worn if their use creates a new risk (i.e. interference with driving or vision, or contributions to heat-related illness) that exceeds their COVID-19 related benefits of slowing the spread of the virus."
- The full text of the TSA SD can be found online and a set of FAQ's has also been developed.
Additional COVID-19 Information
The state of Illinois has deemed public transportation as an essential service that must continue during the pandemic. Just like all Airlines, Greyhound, Burlington Trailways, Peoria Charter will continue to operate its routes with the possibility of every seat being occupied. Peoria Charter understands that our passengers may be uncomfortable with this. Peoria Charter has created a service called Private Rides. This is an alternative option to those who would prefer to use Peoria Charter's services while being able to request a private van service to all of our scheduled service destinations.
By choosing to travel with Peoria Charter's Scheduled line run services, you acknowledge that you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and hereby forever release and waive your right to bring suit against Peoria Charter and its owners, officers, directors, managers, officials, trustees, agents, employees, or other representatives in connection with exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 related to utilizing the company's services and premises.
Any passenger with symptoms of COVID-19 while boarding our vehicle will not be permitted onboard for safety reasons. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, please wait 2 weeks before using the Peoria Charter.
All Passengers must wear face masks before boarding the coach on our scheduled services for the entire duration of the ride. Peoria Charter reserves the right to disembark any passenger that refuses to or removes their masks during transit.
