INDUSTRY-LEADING CLEANLINESS



As part of our enhanced cleaning procedures, Groome will be using a disinfection
fogging procedure applied by a leading-edge electrostatic sprayer that blankets
the interior surfaces of each vehicle with a high-grade EPA-registered
disinfectant, which is both highly effective against a wide variety of bacteria
and viruses, including coronaviruses, and safe for passengers. This is the same
technology used by leading airlines and hospitals across the country to reduce
the spread of COVID-19.

Our cleaning checklist puts an extra focus on commonly touched surfaces in our
vehicles, offices and waiting areas, and uses the same hospital-grade
disinfectant as our sprayers.

Groome employees are trained and equipped to maintain a clean environment
through frequent hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer.

   the vehicle.

   travel, as described below, and ii) Groome is not in a position to make a
   determination of any risk of COVID-19 infection, which is a matter that

   seek prompt medical attention.

   vehicle.

   necessary.

 * Prior to each shift, employees are required to screen themselves for COVID-19
   symptoms, which includes self-taking of temperature to check for fever by
   asking themselves the following upon clocking into work:
   * Since my last day of work, have I had a fever of 100.4°F or higher?
   * Do I have any or a combination of the following symptoms?
   * Cough
   * Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
   * Fever (CDC considers a person to have a fever when he or she has a measured
     temperature of 100.4oF or greater, feels warm to the touch, or gives a
     history of feeling feverish)

   the vehicle during cleaning).

   surfaces of each vehicle with a safe, high-grade EPA-registered disinfectant,
   which is 99.999% effective against a wide variety of bacteria and viruses,
   including coronaviruses, and is applied with a leading-edge electrostatic
   sprayer. This is similar to what is used by hospitals and airlines.


DRIVER TIPS



How should passengers tip drivers?

 * We recommend that tips for driver be added to the passenger’s credit card
   charge at the time of reservation.
 * Giving cash directly to the driver is also an option.


PASSENGER NOTIFICATION OF COVID-19 POSITIVE CASE



Will passengers be notified should their driver or another passenger in the
vehicle test positive for COVID-19?

 * Groome will work closely with and take guidance from the appropriate public
   health agencies/personnel to identify and/or contact any passengers who may
   have been exposed to a COVID-19-positive driver or passenger. In doing so,
   Groome maintains privacy of any driver or passenger diagnosed or presumed to
   have COVID-19.

For further guidance we recommend travelers reference the CDC website.
