Know Before Planning Your Trip

Catalina Express is a provider of public transportation regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. We regularly review and implement procedures following guidelines and protocols promulgated by the CDC and local and state regulators to avoid the spread of COVID-19 among our passengers and crew. 

When you travel with Catalina Express, you bear an equal responsibility to follow the same guidelines. Travel with any public transportation may subject you to risks of exposure that we have no control over. The only truly safe alternative is to shelter in place at your home. 

OUR GOAL - A SAFE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL

Protecting the Team

Catalina Express continues to provide hand sanitizer, masks and other supplies to employees to deliver a safe travel experience. We have established symptom screenings for our public facing team members and require employees who are sick to remain home.
