The Lake County Office of Transit Services is making it a priority to ensure that residents continue to receive public transportation, and modifications are being implemented to minimize the local impact of coronavirus disease. Vehicle interiors are being cleaned and disinfected nightly with deep cleaning and sanitization on weekends.
