Metro-North to begin mask enforcement

If you're traveling into New York, you have to wear a mask. Failure to do so will result in a fine.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Starting today, Metro-North will be cracking down on riders who don’t wear a mask while heading into New York.

Riders who refuse to wear one will be fined $50.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) said there is no state fine for Connecticut at this time should you not comply with mask-wearing.

But New York is taking a stricter approach.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which is the parent company for Metro-North, did a surgery that showed 90%  of riders did wear a mask. However, New York wants to make the compliance percentage a number higher.

They want every rider to their part to keep others safe and for people to feel comfortable coming back and using public transportation.
