Vaccination, Negative COVID-19 Tests and Masks

The health and well-being of APTA’s members, attendees and guests are of the utmost importance. As such, APTA has instituted a mandatory vaccination or negative COVID-19 test policy for the 2022 Legislative Conference. Following the policy set by the Grand Hyatt, face coverings over mouth and nose are required for unvaccinated guests, and are optional for fully vaccinated guests.

With CLEAR, you are always in control of your information. American Public Transportation Association only receives confirmation that an attendee satisfied the requirements for access with the equivalent of a red or green result — and never has access to an individual’s private health data through CLEAR.
