What precautions are being taken to reduce risk associated with COVID-19?

All passengers and operators must wear a mask that covers both the mouth and the nose at all times. We also ask that passengers travel with companions that reside within their household and to refrain from using MOD if they aren't feeling well. MOD operators are monitored for illness and will also sanitize the vehicle between MOD trips.
