What safety protocols has Via implemented?

Via is no longer providing rides in Washington, DC. If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page here.

At Via, we're more focused than ever on making your next ride as safe and worry-free as possible. Here are a few of the important safety measures we’ve put in place:

Capacity is key: There’s a 2-passenger limit in all vehicles.
Mask up: That goes for riders and drivers alike. Without a face covering, our drivers may refuse the pickup.
Squeaky clean: We’re making EPA-approved cleaning supplies available to drivers for frequent wipedowns of the entire interior, with extra focus on surfaces we all touch. We’re also helping install plastic partitions between drivers and riders.
Feeling good: Before you book, confirm you’re not exhibiting COVID-19 like symptoms with our in-app Wellness Check. Our drivers all do the same.

Do I have to wear a mask to take a Via?

Yes! Think of your mask as your favorite new accessory, the one you can’t leave the house without. Drivers can refuse the pickup if you don't have one.

Are shared rides available in my city?

You bet! Shared rides are back in action.

Rest assured our safety protocols aren’t going anywhere:

  • Riders and drivers must wear masks. Without a face covering, your driver may refuse the pickup.
  • The number of riders in each vehicle will be capped, as will the number of +1s you can bring along.
  • We ask drivers to frequently clean their vehicles with EPA-approved products, and many vehicles contain plastic partitions between drivers and riders.
  • Windows will be open whenever possible, which means maximum ventilation. 
  • Confirm you’re healthy with our in-app Wellness Check before hopping onboard.
