We all want to live, work and play in beautiful, vibrant, safe neighborhoods.
METRO bus shelters provide riders with a safe and clean place to wait for the bus. With thousands of bus stops across the Houston region, maintaining each location can be challenging.
By adopting a bus stop or bus shelter in your community, you can help us keep your neighborhood looking its best and reduce the chance of criminal activity and vandalism.
This is a joint effort between our Public Engagement and Facilities Maintenance teams with community partners, working together to support a clean, safe public transit system. We encourage individuals, civic groups and local businesses to get involved.
Program participants volunteer to pick up litter in the bus stop or shelter area between METRO’s designated trash collection days, and have the option to make general improvements to the grounds around the stop or shelter. Trash bags are provided at the request of the individual or organization.
