faculty to turn the Next Generation Bus
Shelters from concept to reality. The results
reflect the commitment of Vanessa
and her fellow classmates to improving
the public transportation experience led
by DART for a better public transportation
experience for all riders that starts
at the bus stop, " said Patrick Merrick,
executive vice president at Tolar Manufacturing
Company.
The mini shelter was designed for areas
that don't have the space for a larger
bus shelter or don't have a high-enough
ridership to qualify for a larger shelter.
These smaller units are open air with a
raised base with seating for two, a large,
slanted roof allowing standing riders
coverage from the elements and solar
powered LED illumination.
DART's pilot program will run
through November 2024, allowing the
agency ample time to gather feedback
from its stakeholders and riders while
checking the responsiveness of the
shelters to north Texas weather and
everyday use. A final next generation bus shelter design is
expected by the end of the year, which will be used throughout
the DART network.
" This is the type of collaboration we want as we begin the
process of modernizing and transforming our system, " said
Dee Leggett, executive vice president and chief development
officer for DART. " From concept design to prototype delivery,
these new bus shelters show we considered the needs of our
customer base and delivered while adding functional value
to a space in each of the cities we serve. "
DART Next Generation pilot bus shelter locations include:
* Mini Shelter at Ross Avenue and Hall Street in Dallas
* Standard Shelter at Malcolm X Boulevard and Clarence
Street in Dallas
* Standard Shelter at Hedgcoxe and Preston roads in Plano
* Slim Shelter at Synergy Park Boulevard and Rutford Road
in Richardson
* Slim Shelter at Northwest Highway and Marketplace Drive
in Garland
With ample coverage from the elements, seating for riders,
increased lighting and a digital passenger information
display that provides real-time bus arrival information, the
Next Generation DART Bus Shelters look to enhance the
customer experience while modernizing bus service across
its service area.
