TRAVEL UPDATES

Coronavirus Update Center

Since our founding in 1997, Main Event Transportation has not wavered from its commitment to passenger and employee safety. Now, more than ever, we are devoted to ensuring the best and safest possible service experience for our customers. In response to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, here’s how we’re working to keep you safe when you travel with Main Event Transportation.

INDUSTRY-LEADING CLEANLINESS

As part of our enhanced cleaning procedures, Main Event Transportation will be using a disinfection fogging procedure applied by a leading-edge electrostatic sprayer that blankets the interior surfaces of each vehicle with a high-grade EPA-registered disinfectant, which is both highly effective against a wide variety of bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses, and safe for passengers. This is the same technology used by leading airlines and hospitals across the country to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Our cleaning checklist puts an extra focus on commonly touched surfaces in our vehicles, offices and waiting areas, and uses the same hospital-grade disinfectant as our sprayers.

Main Event Transportation employees are trained and equipped to maintain a clean environment through frequent hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer.

RIDING IN OUR VEHICLES

Similar to new policies implemented by airlines, and with reliance on CDC guidance, we have implemented the following additional changes:

  • Requiring all drivers to wear face masks.
  • Requiring all passengers over the age of two to wear face masks or appropriate face covering of the nose and mouth. No exceptions will be made.
    • Main Event Transportation will temporarily refuse to transport any passenger who is unable to wear a mask even if the customer has a verifiable medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask.​
    • Face shields do not qualify as an appropriate face covering.
    • Face masks with breathing valves do not qualify as an appropriate face covering.
  • Facilitating a regular supply of fresh, filtered air into the vehicle.
