University System of Georgia: Masks on campus transportation no longer required

The University System of Georgia has recently updated its guidance about wearing masks on campus transportation.

In light of the recent court decision and the subsequent decisions by major transportation providers to no longer require masks on public transit, the USG will no longer require use of masks on campus transportation.

The USG continues to recognize COVID-19 vaccines and boosters offer safe, effective protection and urges all students, faculty, staff and visitors to get vaccinated and/or boosted either on campus or with a local provider.

As USG works closely with the Georgia Department of Public Health to prioritize the health and safety of campus communities, the system encourages people to wear masks based on their preference and assessment of personal risk.
