On January 29, 2021, the CDC issued an Order that required face masks to be worn by all people while on public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and U.S. territories. The Order also required all people to wear masks while at transportation hubs (including airports, bus or ferry terminals, train and subway stations, seaports, U.S. ports of entry.) On June 17 2021 Florida Senator Rick Scott introduced the Stop Mandating Additional Requirements for Travel (SMART) Act to prohibit the federal government from requiring Americans to wear masks on public transportation.

No, abolish federally-funded public transportation, and mandate the COVID vaccine.
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
No, let the public transportation companies decide that. And masks shouldn't be mandated unless the government gives people with low-income free or affordable masks.
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
If you are taking public transportation, infection from COVID is not making the top 10 of dangerous things that could happen to you.
@8Y59X3T3yrs3Y
No, the federal government should recommend but not mandate it. Leave it up to the state government running the transportation. If it is interstate, then yes there should be a mandate.
@8TVYZQL4yrs4Y
No, the disease will not go away and we cannot wear masks forever.
@4D9SF8L4yrs4Y
No, the government should recommended vaccinations and remove any liability protections for the unvaccinated (unless they have a medical reason they cannot be vaccinated)
@6YNV9754yrs4Y
Only for people who are not vaccinated
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
No, this should be a state issue instead of a federal issue
@7TBHR2C4yrs4Y
No, this is more of a personal/state issue than a federal one.
@6T6Y4L24yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the majority of the population is unvaccinated
@8BF4MNG4yrs4Y
No, unless it is ran by the federal government.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but only on transportation that is travelling from one state to another, or out of the United States entirely. Otherwise, this should be a state government decision
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only for those who aren't fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Individuals should be required to carry a confirmation of full vaccination card with them when utilizing public transportation
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only for those who aren't fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or are not carrying a confirmation of full vaccination card with them
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only for those who aren't carrying or do not possess a confirmation of full vaccination card
@8K5FGHT3yrs3Y
Let each state decide, but decrease emergency funding for states that choose not to mandate that masks are worn on public transit
@8S33VNF4yrs4Y
No, unless they are sick
@8SGV53Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but only in places where vaccination rates are low.
@8TH2QWQ4yrs4Y
yes, but in the fall when covid season starts.
@8VC7WDN4yrs4Y
I am fine with personal recommendations from doctors.or loved ones , but mandates are out of the question.
@8VC7WDN4yrs4Y
I am fine with personal recommendations from doctors or governments, but mandates are out of the question.
@8VL9DP43yrs3Y
Although I think that face masks work and people should wear them, I don't think that the government should place a mandate. People wouldn't follow it anyway.
@8VPY5NS3yrs3Y
Let each state decide and the government should recommend it
@8WC42M43yrs3Y
No, people who are comfortable without the mask or comfortable being vaccinated, shouldn't be required to wear their mask, and people who want to wear the mask obviously have that choice. I think the government should recommend masks but shouldn't require them.
@SassOfficial3yrs3Y
No, let each municipality decide
@8XMFL273yrs3Y
No, the effectiveness of masks relies on a well maintained sterile environment such as hospitals.
@8XPB39B3yrs3Y
Yes but make it that if you don't have a mask they give you one.
