Macon-Bibb Transit Authority will resume regular paratransit service

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Macon-Bibb Transit Authority will resume its regular paratransit service starting Thursday.

According to a news release from the Transit Authority, the regular service will replace the “essential travel only” policy that the Transit Authority started in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paratransit riders must continue to call and schedule trips and fares for paratransit and fixed route services will still be free.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Macon-Bibb Transit Authority will still do the following:

1. Continue to take the temperature of paratransit and fixed route riders before they board any buses. Their temperature must be below 100.4 degrees.
2. Paratransit and fixed route riders must continue to wear a face covering. Face coverings include a traditional/recognizable mask, a makeshift mask, a bandana, fabric or cloth that is secured to the passengers head and is shielding their mouth and nose.

The news release goes on to say that all other current Macon-Bibb Transit Authority policies and procedures will remain the same.
