Thank you for using the Bus Stop Builder. This is your design. We recommend that you save this URL; you can come back and review it any time. You can use it as a reference when moving through your jurisdiction’s bus stop improvement review and approval process.

Step 4: What to do next

• Consider accessibility: ADA compliance, safety, amenity size and dimension should be included before any final bus stop amenity upgrade designs are approved by your city. Make sure you are effectively engaging accessibility experts and community members.
• Validate against real-world conditions. Bus stop conditions shown on Google Maps may not accurately represent real-time bus stop conditions. Validate assumptions made by your design by conducting an in-person assessment at the relevant bus stop.
• Engage your community. Community members who frequently ride buses are experts on what bus stops and bus stop amenities are best to prioritize. Make sure you’re engaging them to help identify the most impactful and appropriate bus stop improvement measures in a given area.
• Confer against other relevant guides established by your jurisdiction or region. Your municipality likely has planning documents that you’ll want to align your design with, like Transportation Plans and Design Guides.
• Coordinate with relevant departments in your jurisdiction. Garner support for your design by coordinating with other departments. Some departments you’ll likely encounter are Transportation, Planning, Public Works, Community Services, Economic Development, Street Services, Parks and Recreation, Finance and Procurement.
• Remember that this design is an envisioning tool. Amenities and features represented by the Bus Stop Builder are artistic expressions of items that could be integrated into bus stop designs. You’ll need to translate this design into alternative formats according to requested specifications from relevant departments.
