Public transportation matters. Hundreds of thousands of area residents utilize MetroLink and MetroBus because it provides a safe, convenient and cost-effective way to get to work, healthcare appointments, stores, entertainment and anywhere else they need to go. In turn, thousands are also passing through transit centers and waiting at MetroBus stops on any given day. This is part of what fueled Citizens for Modern Transit, AARP in St. Louis and others to partner on Transit Stop Transformation Projects, which have successfully turned seven of these sites into colorful, engaging corridors that cultivate community. Building on the success of these projects, Citizens for Modern Transit and AARP in St. Louis are excited to soon launch another placemaking program.
The goal is to help build better bus stops through the addition of a basic amenity – a bench.
Details of the new innovative programming will soon be announced. In the meantime, Citizens for Modern Transit and AARP in St. Louis are seeking partners to support the installation of one or more bus benches at bus stops lacking existing amenities.
