LIFTS
Services During COVID-19
Per federal law, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires proper wearing of face masks on public transportation. Face masks are to be worn at all times while riding LIFTS buses. Failure to comply may result in denial of rides on Linn County LIFTS.
We appreciate the public's understanding of the need to conduct business in new ways during this global pandemic.
