Grocery Stores:
Effective Thursday, April 10, 2020, Mayor Bowser issued a Mayoral Order that implements new social distancing protocols for grocery stores, convenience stores, farmer's markets, and shoppers. Residents will now be required to wear a mask or mouth covering and maintain at least a 6-foot distance from other shoppers while at the supermarket. Food retailers will limit the number of customers shopping at a time and will mark safe waiting distances at check-out lines and any line that may form outside of the store. Grocers may also mark some aisles one-way or close certain check-out counters to reduce shopper congestion. They will also be required to provide the public with disinfecting wipes and/or hand sanitizer at every entrance and exit.
Farmer's markets must now obtain a waiver wherein they detail how they will meet the new social distancing requirements for their vendors and customers. These new requirements include the elimination of any on-site food preparation, pre-bagging items so they may be purchased in a "grab and go" fashion, and prohibiting customers from touching items before purchase. Social distancing requirements between shoppers also applies.
The Palisades Farmers Market plans on using a single entrance and exit system and has obtained the necessary waiver.

DFHV (DC Department of For-Hire Vehicles)
Taxi-to-Rail (T2R) is now operating citywide …and is free for shorter trips. Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs):
Q. I thought this program from the Department of For-Hire Vehicles was just for going to and from Metro stations in Wards 7 and 8. What happened?
A. This Department of For-Hire Vehicles program has been expanded several times since its creation. Most recently, it was expanded to help address the coronavirus public health emergency. Although the name is the same, the program now offers rides to essential services: grocery stores, medical facilities, and pharmacies within DC. (DFHV is the former DC Taxicab Commission.)
Q. Who can use this service? What are the eligibility criteria?
A. All District residents may use this service, regardless of income, age, or health condition. This program expansion enables all District residents to use Taxi-to-Rail (T2R) to go to and from grocery stores, medical facilities, and pharmacies anywhere in the city during the health crisis.
Q. What do I do to use this transportation option?
A. DFHV Director David Do urges District residents to stay home. At the same time, he and his department want to make it easier for residents who must get to these essential services during the health crisis. To request a ride, call (202) 727- 3827 (the same phone number as before). Or book a ride online at Taxi2Rail.com.
Q. Can I use this service at any time of day or night?
A. No, this program has specific hours of operation: Monday through Friday, 5:30am8:00pm; Saturday 7:00am-8:00pm; and Sunday 8:00am-8:00pm.
Q. Would I ride in a shared van or other vehicles? How does it work?
A. Travel using the Taxi-To-Rail (T2R) program is by taxi.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. For the first $20 of the metered fare, the ride is free. Under the public health emergency expansion, the Taxi-To-Rail customer pays only the amount of the total fare that is over $20. When calling, a passenger may request a fare estimate. When booking on Taxi2Rail.com, the passenger receives a fare estimate during the booking process.
Q. How often can I use this transportation option?
A. There is no cap, no limit, on the number of rides. (Previously, there was a cap of four rides per month.)
Q. How long will this program be offered?
A. The Department of For-Hire Vehicles will make this determination, in consultation with other relevant DC government agencies as needed.
Q. Can I use this program if I need to take my walker or wheelchair?
A. Yes.
For more information, contact the Department of For-Hire Vehicles at (202) 645-7300.
