The PART Express network consists of bus stops at Park & Ride lots, major employers, transit terminals, and strategic locations in urban areas. Some PART stops have shelters that are shared with other local transit agencies.
In 2015, PART began developing a process of identifying, funding, and installing bus shelters at strategic locations. The first step was the development of transit amenity guidelines and a prioritization process to determine the stops in the most need. Pedestrian access is critical to shelter locations, and local permitting requirements must be met.
Then, in 2016, PART initiated a bus advertising program to fund the bus stop amenities program, a program that is still in place.
Shelters are considered as the need arises and locations become feasible.
