OTTAWA -- The city's transit commission has approved a plan to make masks mandatory for all customers and drivers starting June 15.
The transit commission voted 10-1 Monday to approve the COVID-19 recovery plan and the plan to make masks mandatory on OC Transpo starting June 15. Citizen commissioner Michael Olsen attempted to have the recovery plan and the mask rule voted on separately, because he was opposed to mandatory masks, but his request was denied by Transit Chair Coun. Allan Hubley. Olsen, subsequently, voted against the plan.
The plan now goes before full City Council, which will meet June 10.
