New bus stop design improves safety, reliability on Colorado Avenue
Before the fall semester begins, Buff Bus riders will see improvements at two bus stops near the Colorado Avenue and Folsom Street intersection.Â
These stops are being upgraded to floating bus stops, a design that helps improve safety and keeps buses moving efficiently. With this new layout, the bike lane runs between the bus stop platform and the sidewalk, creating clearer spaces for riders, cyclists and buses.Â
What this means for riders
- More predictable and efficient bus arrivals and departuresÂ
- Improved safety for people boarding and exiting the busÂ
- Reduced delays caused by traffic and vehicles passing busesÂ
- More reliable service during winter weather when buses can remain in the travel laneÂ
The new floating bus stops will serve:Â
- Westbound: Stampede and HOP routesÂ
- Eastbound: Stampede and Will Vill routesÂ
These improvements are part of ongoing efforts to make campus transit safer, more reliable and more comfortable for Buff Bus riders and the broader campus community.
