A Message to Our Valuable Employees and Customers:
Like many of you, Virginia Regional Transit has been monitoring the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation very closely. We understand transportation during this time is still of the utmost importance as you support those that depend on our organization to weather this pandemic. We want to express to you, our valuable employees and customers, that while we value you for your contributions to our organization, we also continually wish for your health and well-being as part of the Virginia Regional Transit family.
Our employees are taking additional health precautions within the working environment and are being urged to stay home if they have any symptoms of an illness. Where appropriate, our employees are able to conduct their job responsibilities through remote access.
We’d also like to review additional ways you can take care of yourself to avoid catching airborne viruses such as the flu and COVID-19. Our employees are already following these steps:
• Regularly disinfect steering wheels and other areas of your vehicle that are frequently touched. A list of disinfectants that kill the COVID-19 can be found at https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-releases-list-disinfectants-use-against-covid-19.
• Maintain your distance. The World Health Organization recommends a distance of three feet from anyone that is coughing or sneezing. The flu and COVID-19 are spread through respiratory droplets.
• Wash your hands thoroughly, for at least 20 seconds, using soap and water. If soap and water aren’t available, use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay informed. If you’re looking for trusted, up-to-date information we recommend the CDC and WHO websites.
• Seek medical care when needed. If you develop a fever, cold-like symptoms or difficulty breathing, contact your doctor or utilize a telemedicine provider.
We thank you for your ongoing partnership — it’s truly a privilege to serve you, your business and our community. We will continue to make decisions that are driven by our core values and with your best interest in mind.

In 1926, 13 African American men formed the Safe Bus Company in Winston Salem, NC to meet the transportation needs of the black community. At the time, there was no reliable public option, and the company grew rapidly. It would become not only the largest black owned transportation company in the United States, but the entire world at the time.
