Transportation-related agency responses to COVID-19 pandemic

^{This article is in the starting phase. Please check back later for updates, or add pertinent information if warranted.}

This article is being used to display the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting transit-related agencies throughout the world. The pandemic became world-wide in early March, 2020, and is still active to this day.

The notes section includes transportation-related notes only. Washing of hands, sanitizing, and terminal closings are not expected to be included in this article. In addition, extra cleaning of vehicles at terminals is expected, thus not included.

Different locales have different responses, and are listed below. When agencies affect a larger area (i.e. Greyhound or Trailways), "national" will be listed as their state or province.
