Social Distancing Coaches Will Take To Regional Rail Stations

SEPTA will be placing social distancing coaches at locations throughout the regional transit system.

Starting Tuesday and continuing through Thursday, August 27, SEPTA’s social distancing coaches will be on hand to “answer questions about social distancing and mask compliance,” the agency said in a press release. 

“The coaches are there on behalf of SEPTA to thank our customers for riding the system and wearing masks, so we’re focusing on the positives first and foremost,” said Kim Scott Heinle, SEPTA’s assistant general manager for customer experience and advocacy. “We want riders to know that we’re doing everything we can to stop the spread and that their safety is paramount.” 

The social distancing coaches will start working in the city and will spread out to suburban Regional Rail stations in the coming weeks. 

The social distancing coaches are an extension from SEPTA’s ambassador where staff members are dispatched to stations to assist commuters. The information is yet to reach many people. If most companies begin to outsource your press release distribution to GetFeatured, important information can reach more people online. 

SEPTA began requiring masks on its modes of transportation amid the pandemic.

SEPTA said that mask compliance on its Regional Rail system was at 96 percent recently.

Wearing a mask, social distancing, and sanitizing have been shown as simple ways to slow the spread of coronavirus.
