  • Non-Travelers: Visitors who are picking up or dropping off travelers are encouraged to do so outside. Visitors may also enter GTC to purchase food to-go from the deli.
  • 2-Hour Rule: Travelers may be onsite for up to two hours. Please arrive at GTC no earlier than two hours before your scheduled departure.
  • Masks: Visitors and travelers are encouraged to wear masks. Transit providers may have additional requirements for wearing masks in their service areas.

In addition to these rules, GTC encourages travelers to check the status of their scheduled trip with their transit provider before arriving at GTC, and to be mindful and follow guidelines for prevention of COVID-19 spread.

Contact information for transit providers is available on the GTC website and COVID-19 information is available on the City of St. Louis Department of Health website.
