WestCAT Updates Related to Coronavirus

Pinole, CA, Monday, March 23, 2020

In response to the shelter-at-home order from the Contra Costa County Health Officer, and to reduce the potential spread of the Coronavirus, WestCAT will be implementing several changes to our system. All changes will remain effective through April 7 at a minimum (or until further notice).

For up-to-date information regarding WestCAT services, please continue to check our website at www.westcat.org and call our information line at (510) 724-7993 before leaving for your bus stop to make sure that there have been no changes to your route(s) schedule.

We are advising that customers only use public transit for essential business (i.e. to/from work, grocery shopping, doctor appointments, etc.) and to be sure and practice social distancing of 6 feet, while aboard the bus at all times. Our ridership has experienced severe drops since last week, so there is plenty of room aboard the buses to keep your distance from the other passengers and the driver.

For regional information regarding all public transit operators, you can visit 511.org for a list of updates during the ongoing health crisis and how it will impact your trip(s).

Thank you for your continued patronage, and we wish you all good health!
