Taxi and ride-share drivers, as well as their passengers, must continue to wear masks in the District, officials announced this week, despite a federal judge’s order that ended the mandate nationwide.

The city’s Department of For-Hire Vehicles noted in a statement that even with the end of the federal mandate, local jurisdictions still can enforce masking rules.

Nationwide, a patchwork response initially followed federal Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s ruling striking down the requirement, as the mask requirement continued to be enforced on a few transportation modes, but not most others. By week’s end, however, many of those earlier discrepancies were resolved with masks no longer being required in the vast majority of the country.

The Department of Justice announced this week it would appeal the judge’s decision. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also continues to recommend that people wear masks in indoor public transportation settings.New York City appeared to be the only major city that has kept the mandate in place for most travelers, including through John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia airports.

In cities where masks are still required, Uber customers will received a prompt reminding them ahead of their trip, the company said.
