A new and improved type of bus stop is coming to your neighborhood.
The city’s Department of Public Works announced the launch of its new Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP), which will install 3,000 new bus shelters across the city.
According to a press release from the Department of Public Works, the goal of the STAP program is to ensure that 75% of all bus riders in each of the 15 city Council Districts will use the new transit shelter.
The new bus shelters feature real-time bus arrival information, large canopies, additional shade, and increased lighting. Digital displays will display arrival times and advertisements.
According to a spokesperson with the Department of Public Works, the 3,000 shelters will be rolled out in phases. The first round of shelters will go to neighborhoods with a priority on equity, including Boyle Heights. The new shelters have already been seen in Echo Park.
