By the summer of 2020 the city of New York gradually began to reopen, which meant more than essential workers needed to take the subway. A small team at the MTA wanted to make sure everyone who wanted a mask, had access to a fresh one and for everyone to feel a little safer while they commuted. During the program, 1,340 New Yorkers handed out about 900,000 masks. Employees and volunteers wore bright yellow t-shirts and vests identifying them as part of the Mask Force team.
