The agency that regulates D.C.’s ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft, as well the District’s taxis, says masks must stay on drivers and riders for now.

The notice comes three days after a federal court overturned the CDC and TSA’s mandatory masking policy for public transit, planes, airports, train stations, and more.

Information on the masking requirement went out to the Department of For-Hire Vehicles email listserv, which includes ride-hailing companies, drivers, and the media late Thursday.

“The Department of For-Hire Vehicles (DFHV) reminds passengers and drivers that masks are still required while driving or riding in taxis or ride-hailing company vehicles. Local rules supersede individual company policies,” the email said.

But the rule is at odds with other District agencies, like the D.C. Circulator and Streetcar, which dropped its mask mandate Thursday. DCist asked DFHV how they decided on the policy, why it differs from other city agencies, as well as  how long it might last, but have not received a response.

Both Uber and Lyft announced they were lifting their mask mandates earlier this week, but both companies say drivers and passengers should follow local rules.

“You no longer have to wear a mask when driving with Uber, unless required by local authorities. Drivers using Uber must comply with local laws and regulations,” Uber wrote on its FAQ about the new making policy.

Lyft wrote, “Wearing masks on transportation may still be required by law in some areas, and we encourage riders and drivers to check their local public health requirements before using Lyft.”

Neither company had any mention of the masking rule in their apps early Thursday evening.

Earlier this week, some drivers expressed concerns about having maskless passengers and riders in the front seat again after almost two years of restrictions, according to posts on a D.C. ride-hailing driver Facebook group.

Meanwhile, public transit agencies across the region have largely made masks optional including WMATA, Alexandria’s DASH buses, and Montgomery County’s RideOn bus.

The masking rule for ride-hailing and taxis does not apply in Maryland and Virginia. It’s unclear what should happen when those vehicles cross state lines.
