INFORMATION RELEASE
March 10, 2022

Federal mask requirement for Juneau airport & Capital Transit extended thru April 18
Masks will continue to be required on public transportation and in transportation hubs – like the Juneau International Airport and on Capital Transit and CAPITAL AKcess – through April 18. The Transportation Security Administration extended<https://www.tsa.gov/news/press/statements/2022/03/10/statement-regarding-face-mask-use-public-transportation> the federal security directive for mask use based on a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The requirement was originally set to expire March 18. Read FAQs and learn more here<https://www.transportation.gov/safety/mask-travel-guidance>.
According to a TSA statement<https://www.tsa.gov/news/press/statements/2022/03/10/statement-regarding-face-mask-use-public-transportation>, “CDC will work with government agencies to help inform a revised policy framework for when, and under what circumstances, masks should be required in the public transportation corridor. This revised framework will be based on the COVID-19 community levels, risk of new variants, national data, and the latest science.”
Outside of the Juneau airport and Capital Transit, the City and Borough of Juneau currently recommends<https://juneau.org/newsroom-item/juneaus-community-risk-level-lowers-to-minimal> wearing a mask in indoor public areas – particularly for those who are immunocompromised or live with people at high risk for severe illness – but there is no mask requirement.
