The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) has over 2,200 stops but less than 300 of them have shelters. Bus riders are often stuck in the hot sun or pouring rain as they wait for buses that only come every 30 minutes or more.

The RTA has made some progress, installing more than 30 shelters in the last two years. But that’s nowhere near enough! Riders demand a more dignified and comfortable transit experience and a basic part of that is more bus stop shelters.

• Ensure equity by committing to prioritizing bus stops that have high ridership
