New Schedule Starts Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025
The Bus Stop Improvement Plan (BSIP) identifies bus stop features and amenities that SamTrans riders, local governments, and community members value, and lays out a plan for improving bus stops across the SamTrans network.
Bus stops are the gateway to SamTrans. In this project, SamTrans gathered input from local governments, neighbors and the riding public to learn which bus stop improvements matter most to the communities SamTrans serves. The BSIP focuses on the comfort and experience of using and accessing bus stops, including amenities, as well as operational improvements to the stops.
The BSIP has also created new Bus Stop Design Guidelines, and will help guide future investments in bus stops, and clarify processes for local governments when working with SamTrans to improve bus stops and amenities.

The next step outlined under the BSIP is to conduct site reviews to consider the feasibility of adding the recommended changes. Engineers will check each location for space restrictions, access to utilities, and whether obstructions like poles, trees, or driveways exist. SamTrans will also work with the cities and local jurisdictions in its service area to identify the preferred path forward and implement the improvements.
