Transport Disinfection

Importance of Transportation Disinfection for COVID-19

Millions of people use public transportation to get to where they need to go. In Mecklenburg County alone, over 153,000 individuals commute from another county in the Charlotte metropolitan area — making it one of the highest county-to-county commuters in the United States.

Though business operations are currently limited due to the threat of COVID-19, essential workers still rely on public transportation to reach their workplace. And as more people return to their normal activities, they will start riding buses, trains, subways, and planes again, as well.

Most people are scared to use public transportation due to the higher risk of virus transmission. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can last up to several days on surfaces. When people touch ticket machines, escalator handrails, queue barriers, and door handles, there’s a chance that these surfaces may be contaminated. High-touch surfaces must be frequently disinfected to break the chain of COVID-19 transmission.

Along with other safety measures, strict transportation cleaning and disinfection protocols are needed to restore passenger confidence and increase public transport usage. However, normal cleaning methods are not enough. You will need a more efficient strategy when disinfecting transit vehicles to reduce turnaround times. This should include:

Public Transportation CleaningCleaning involves the use of soap/detergent and water to remove germs, bacteria, viruses, and other impurities from surfaces. Cleaning does not kill pathogens but it removes them from surfaces. Thereby, reducing their number to a safe level.

Public Transportation DisinfectionDisinfection kills germs, bacteria, and viruses on surfaces. The disinfectant kills these pathogens but does not remove them from surfaces. Thus, cleaning and disinfection are often performed together to significantly lower the risk of spreading infectious diseases.

Public Transportation DecontaminationDecontamination eliminates virtually all germs, bacteria, and viruses from surfaces. The process involves the use of chemical agents, such as disinfectants, Cleaning and disinfection is enough to fight against coronavirus transmission, but decontamination can be useful when dealing with confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19.
