College Ave. <br />FOlt Collins, CO 80525 <br /> <br />RE: New Transit Shelters in Suburban Cities <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Piemot: <br /> <br />Over the past 2 years, Metro Transit has worked hard to improve the quality of bus <br />services and bus stops for citizen riders in suburban cities. To improve these services <br />across our system, we have made tough budget decisions to allocate funding for high <br />ridership shelters, transit centers, buses, route services and maintenance. Today, we <br />maintain nearly 900 shelters at over 19,000 bus stops. It is expensive to both equip bus <br />stops with shelters and to provide regular maintenance year-round. Budget limitations <br />will continue to constrain the number of new shelters we plan to build and maintain. We <br />will need to prioritize our installation based on ridership at these locations. <br /> <br />You have indicated that a number of cities are interested in working with you to <br />contribute directly to improvements and use of public transit by contracting with your <br />organization to build and maintain shelters at bus stops. Metro Transit encourages these <br />cities to work with private enterprises such as Outdoor Promotions, Inc. as they consider <br />the optimum manner to acquire and maintain additional transit shelters for their residents. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />(j~&?~~ <br /> <br />Richard M.
