“Face coverings represent one of the most basic yet crucial strategies to halting the spread of COVID-19,” Matt Giffin, deputy director for strategic initiatives in the Office of Public Health and Safety, said. “Our partnership with IndyGo will enhance the safety of riders, their families, and the Indianapolis community at large.”
As part of the funding from the Federal CARES Act, the City has appropriated $3 million for the free face coverings.
