Spokesperson Jennifer Schuk says all ferries, buses and terminals will be cleaned and sanitized multiple times a day.
"The boats, ferries, all sanitized after every trip. The terminals all the time. And I encourage people who are nervous about going into city to come on the ferry, be comfortable, be in fresh air, social distance and enjoy sunshine and relax," she says.
A handful of ferry lines will be added Monday while others will be phased in as demand increases. Schedules and times can be found online.
