Transit Agency Relationships and Initiatives to Improve Bus Stops and Pedestrian Access
In the United States, many transit stops are not adequate: bus stops that are just a signpost on
a busy road, bus stops with broken sidewalks and/or pathway obstructions, bus stops with a lack
of seating, and bus stops clearly not accessible to people with disabilities. For many bus riders,
the journey to access and the wait at the bus stop are experiences that may inhibit their ability or
desire to take the bus.
