In July 2021, we got to test out new bus shelter technology and see sample designs of what STAP could offer. If you missed seeing it in-person, you can still check out the bus shelter demonstration event and give us feedback on what you'd like to see in future bus shelters.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) has been approved by the Board of Public Works on November 24, 2020. From the Board's meeting agenda, you can download attachments: "BSS1" is the Board Report; and "BSS 1 TR3" is the RFP. See the presentation given to the Board. Interested parties can find the RFP and submit proposals at LABAVN (search for ID #41186). We're excited to build this partnership! Watch the video! 

Presenters from all over the nation pitched their companies at the STAP Virtual Networking Event held in July 2020. More than 30 innovators and entrepreneurs made four-minute, Shark Tank-like pitches in a program designed to encourage the formation of teams to respond to the Request for Proposals (RFP). Watch the event.

Working with our contract partners, we are doubling the frequency of cleaning at bus stops and have installed 300 touch-free hand sanitizers at the highest used bus stops across the City. See more: https://streetsla.lacity.org/transit-shelter-hand-sanitizers

The City extended the Bus Bench Program contract with Insite Street Media, LLC (ISSM) for an additional 5 years, through October 2026.  As a part of the extended Program term, ISSM will furnish the City with an additional 750 bus benches.

Cool Amenities: As part of Mayor Garcetti’s Green New Deal, StreetsLA has begun to add cooling features, trees and more shade at bus stops. Starting in October 2019, Insite Street Media (ISSM) installed the first of 50 experimental shade umbrellas to provide much needed shade throughout the City.  In the coming months, ISSM will be pursuing the design and construction of more shade structures with the goal of installing upwards of 300 permanent shade structures over the City’s bus benches this year.
