Shelter-Shade-Safety-Comfort
Our priority is to provide well-designed, new bus shelters that drastically improve the rider experience.
Reflecting Los Angeles’ Diverse Neighborhoods
We propose an iconic yet timeless design for new bus stops that highlights the ‘City of Neighborhoods’ and LA’s eclectic and optimistic culture.
A Smart Equitable LA
We will partner with LA communities to ensure that bus shelters, street furniture, and technology innovations for smart mobility are accessible and beneficial to all.

Each bus stop and every neighborhood has different needs. Our approach will be to listen to the community and consider three critical elements to determine the best combination of amenities for your stop.
Transit Ridership
75% of bus riders in every district will receive new shelters
Pollution Burden & Community Need
1,304 shelters will be solar powered, reducing carbon emissions
Heat Index
All 3,450 shelters will include shade coverage
The Design
The Design
Our design draws a nod to LA’s vintage while showcasing its vision of a smart-cities future that prioritizes sustainability and equity for all. Inspired by the timeless California Modernism style that our city is known for, the bus shelter acts as a flexible framework to support real-time departures, smart city lights, and additional features to improve the bus rider’s experience.Â

Tomorrow’s Bus Stops
Art Reach
ArtReach is our initiative to showcase local art at the bus shelters that have digital displays. We will partner with local artists, art galleries, museums, cultural institutions, and community arts organizations in each neighborhood to highlight and promote community and local art. The program will be curated and administered by Nic Cha Kim, co-founder of the creative district Gallery Row in Downtown Los Angeles.Â
A percentage of ad space will be donated to LA City to promote community events.

In the heat of July 2021, over the course of two weeks at six different locations throughout the City of LA, we showcased our award winning bus shelter design and amenities to the public and demonstrated its features.
