What We're Doing to Make Walking Safer

"Crossing the street should not be a death defying act. It comes down to education, enforcement, and innovative engineering working together to maximize pedestrian access and safety."

Delegate William Bronrott

Bus Stop Improvement Program

The Montgomery County's Department of Transportation is engaged in a six-year project to render every bus stop in the County as pedestrian safe as feasible and accessible to every member of our community - in compliance with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  Bus stops are very important to pedestrian safety; transit passengers are pedestrians at both ends of their trip, coming and going. As of July, 2008, over 700 bus stops have been modified and improved.  Below are photos of some of the improvements made in the first two years of the program. .
