DHS, FAA Emphasize The Federal Mask Mandate Ahead Of Holiday Weekend

Face masks are required to travel on all public transportation including planes, trains and buses.

Airports are gearing up for what is expected to be a very busy Memorial Day weekend. With restrictions easing across the country, we've seen travel increase as well. On Sunday, TSA said it screened 1.8 million passengers, the most since the beginning of the pandemic. But even though there may be new mask guidance and changes at a local level, the Department of Homeland Security is reminding travelers that the federal mask mandate is still in place and masks are required for public transportation.
