Better Bus Stops Project

Metro Transit recently won a Federal grant – Ladders of Opportunity and are considering some upgrades to neighborhood bus stops. This might be good news for the Bottineau Neighborhood because they are in the running for receiving some of these upgrades.

The survey is aimed at better understanding the features people find most important at bus stops, and where people think waiting shelters are most important. This survey is open to all, and they especially want to ensure that transit riders and residents in Bottineau are involved in this process.

As part of Metro Transit’s commitment to provide customers a safe, secure and comfortable experience, waiting shelters are provided at high-boarding locations where conditions allow. Metro Transit is working with community-based organizations to solicit feedback on its shelter placement policies and guidelines and other bus stop improvement issues.

The Better Bus Stops Survey is one tool Metro Transit is using to gather feedback. This feedback will influence how Metro Transit prioritizes bus stops for shelters, heated shelters and other bus stop improvements in the future.
