Operative words

Necessary measures put in place at the local, state, and national levels to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in a significant decrease in TARC ridership, which in turn is forcing TARC to reduce its workforce. Effective Monday, March 30, 2020, 133 Coach Operators will be laid off.
