To understand how air quality inside transit buses might contribute to the spread of infections, including COVID-19 and the seasonal flu, the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) brought together transit industry leaders, subject-matter experts, and other thought leaders. Transit stakeholders shared their knowledge about the issue of air quality inside buses and to help identify possible solutions to the problems and/or areas of research to be undertaken in future TCRP projects.

The TCRP Insight Event: Air Quality in Transit Buses is an in-depth, virtual gathering designed to explore how air quality inside transit vehicles, specifically buses, may contribute to the spread of infections, including COVID-19. Watch recordings of the interactive panel on the intersection of transit air quality and mitigation of transmission risks of infectious diseases. Speakers represented transit organizations, academia, the federal government, and private industry.
