Sanitized for Rider Safety
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, SSL invested a tremendous amount of time and resources into taking enhanced precautions and implementing new procedures for the health and safety of passengers, as well as train personnel. The SSL furthered the safety measures being taken through its Sanitized for Rider Safety program, a comprehensive cleaning and health and safety program.
SSL invites riders to look for the Sanitized for Rider Safety seal in the stations and train cars. “We want our riders and crews to know that we have their safety at the forefront of our service,” said Michael Noland, President of South Shore Line. “We know that health and safety concerns are now at the top of everyone’s minds, and we are hoping that the SSL can offer peace of mind as riders start and end their days with us.” SSL sanitization procedures include disinfecting seats, windows, crash pads, handrails, door handles, head rests and grab handles. Each train car is mopped with a stringent disinfectant, and the SSL has also purchased state-of-the-art equipment that fogs train cars with disinfectant.
SSL recommends the following guidelines for passengers:
- Utilize hand sanitization stations available on each train car
- Refrain from congregating in train vestibules
- Avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes while on train
- Wash hands frequently and follow CDC recommendations for hand washing
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze
- Respect the personal space of all passengers to the best of your ability
