Better Bus Stop Program
Do you believe bus riders deserve dignified places to wait?
The Better Bus Stop Program seeks to improve bus stops throughout the Richmond region’s public transit system. These improvements include advocating for more shelters and shade, benches and trash cans. Through our community initiative Adopt a Stop, we also focus on helping keep bus stops clean of any litter and safe to use.
¿Crees que los pasajeros de autobús merecen lugares dignos para esperar? El Programa de Mejores Paradas de Autobús busca mejorar las paradas de autobús en todo el sistema de transporte público de la región de Richmond. Estas mejoras incluyen abogar por más refugios y sombra, bancos y contenedores de basura. A través de nuestra iniciativa comunitaria Adopta una Parada, también nos enfocamos en ayudar a mantener las paradas de autobús limpias de basura y seguras para usar.
Whether you are a rider looking to better your bus stop, a donor looking to help support better bus stops, or just someone wanting to add more dignity for all who use our neighborhood streets and bus system alike, please fill out the RVA Rapid Transit Adopt-A-Stop Agreement Form.
Ya sea que seas un pasajero que busca mejorar su parada de autobús, un donante que desea ayudar a respaldar mejores paradas de autobús, o simplemente alguien que quiere aportar más dignidad para todos los que usan nuestras calles del vecindario y el sistema de autobuses por igual, por favor completa la Formulario de Acuerdo Adoptar una Parada de RVA Rapid Transit.
