I. BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE / OVERVIEW
A. Objective
The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified Service Providers to
assemble and install new bus shelters and to provide advertising and maintenance
services for new and existing bus shelters throughout the City.
B. Overview / Background
The City of Fort Collins, Transfort, has over 430 bus shelters and benches (the “Existing
Shelters”). The City will be purchasing approximately 50 new shelters (the “New Shelters”)
in 2020-2021 and additional shelters, numbers to be determined, in following years. Each
New Shelter will be equipped with a bench seat, advertising kiosk, solar lighting, and may
have trash and recycling receptacles and bike racks (the “Amenities”) as described herein.
The scope for this Request for Proposals includes the assembly, installation, advertising
and maintenance of these New Shelters and Amenities as well as the advertising and
maintenance of five (5) City owned shelters and one (1) bench on the Lincoln Corridor (the
“Lincoln Shelters”).
In an effort to provide shelter and Amenities for transit passengers, the City requests
proposals from qualified firms to provide all aspects of a transit shelter/bench advertising
program (the “Advertising Program”) and bus stop Amenities. The initial scope of the
Advertising Program, installation and maintenance will encompass the New Shelters and
the Lincoln Shelters. The City desires a turnkey operation of services to include assembly,
installation and maintenance of the New Shelters and Amenities, and sales and
administration of the transit shelters/benches with advertising in this limited public forum.
The Service Provider will be responsible for all costs related to the assembly, installation,
operation and maintenance of the New Shelters and Amenities as well as all costs incurred
in marketing and administration of the program (installation and maintenance of
advertisements and transit system maps, transit advertising, and bus schedules as
needed).
The City of Fort Collins, Transfort currently operates 32 local transit routes. The routes
and span of service hours can be viewed at www.ridetransfort.com. There are currently
over 430 bus stops in the Transfort system with a long range Transfort Strategic Operating
Plan to expand service throughout the City and region.
C. Bus Stop Advertising
Transfort, like many transit agencies across the nation, utilizes advertising to provide
revenue and maintenance of the bus shelters and Amenities. Transfort contracts this
service with an advertising Service Provider, allowing them to advertise at Transfort bus
stops. In return, Transfort benefits from a portion of the advertising revenue, as well as the
Service Provider’s maintenance of bus stops (including snow removal) and the Service
Provider’s installation of the New Shelters and Amenities at designated locations within
public ROW.
RFP 9136 Bus Shelter Advertising & Maintenance Page 3 of 147
II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
A. Scope of Work
The City is currently contracted with a Service Provider for bus shelter/bench advertising
services for a period of performance ending December 31, 2021. Upon expiration of the
existing agreement, effective January 1, 2022 the scope of services under the new
agreement with the firm selected under this RFP will be amended to add the Existing
Shelters and Amenities. The new Service Provider will provide a turnkey solution for all
Existing and needed shelters and Amenities that are not covered by the current Service
Provider or were purchased directly by Transfort, as well as future enhancements to the
bus stop program. Section VII, Attachments, provides detailed information regarding
current and future Amenities, and associated service expectations. Specifically,
Attachment C denotes the current needed Amenities and Attachment D denotes
anticipated future enhancements over the next five years. All Transfort shelters and
benches are described in Attachment A.
After the conclusion of the current Service Provider’s contract term, ending on December
31, 2021, the new Service Provider will assume upgrades, maintenance, repairs,
advertising and all other requirements of this scope for the Existing Shelters and Amenities
that the current Service Provider is servicing. The locations to be assumed on January 1,
2022 will be considered City purchased bus stops for the purposes of the Minimum Annual
Guarantee, as described in Section III, paragraph G. All Existing Shelters and Amenities
maintained by the current Service Provider will be the property of the City after December
31, 2021.
Within the first thirty (30) days of the execution of the Agreement, the Service Provider
must maintain a computerized inventory system of the Amenity program for the New
Shelters and Lincoln Shelters. The system must have database, mapping and graphic
information for recording the stop number, unique unit or serial number of all shelters and
Amenities, location, type, design and features of all installed units and the location,
features and status of units, including the date that each unique shelter and Amenity was
placed at the stop. The database must hold historical records of all of the dates and
locations of each shelter and Amenity placement to track the life of the shelter and Amenity
in the event that the shelter’s and/or Amenity’s location changes. The database shall be
updated in real-time or within two (2) business days of the work. Upon termination of the
Agreement for any reason, the system and data shall become the property of the City
without compensation to the Service Provider.
The Service Provider must respond to service requests from Transfort within 24 hours.
Service Requests are generated through Transfort’s Enterprise Asset Management

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 1
1. OVERVIEW
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Bus Stop Design Standards and Guidelines document is to assist City staff,
developers, local partners and private property owners in locating and designing bus stops and
their associated passenger amenities within the City of Fort Collins as well as the greater Transfort
service area. The document consists of five chapters:
• Overview — discusses how to use the standards and guidance
• The Big Picture — discusses the transit network as it currently exists and the envisioned
future of transit service in Fort Collins
• Street-side Characteristics — discusses the factors associated with the roadway that
influence bus operations
• Curb-side Characteristics — discusses the factors associated with the comfort, safety and
convenience of patrons at bus stops
• Next Steps — discusses Transfort’s approach to pursue capital improvements and outlines
related action items related to bus stop accessibility

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 2
1.2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE
STANDARDS AND GUIDANCE
This guidance document was created with the assistance of a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC),
created by Transfort, comprised of local transit riders, cycling advocates, safety specialists, urban
designers, students, media professionals, Transfort staff and other interested parties. The CAC
members included individuals with a wide range of abilities and experiences with the transit network.
A project management team (PMT) of City staff also assisted in the development of this document.
This group focused on the technical components and safety considerations as they relate to bus
stops. The following City departments were represented in the PMT: Engineering, FC Moves,
Planning, Streets, Traffic, and Transfort.
In addition, Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 19 – Guidelines for the Location
and Design of Bus Stops, as well as various other transit agency bus stop design documents,
provided best practices and general guidance in the development of the standards and guidance
outlined in this document.
1.3 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER
STANDARDS AND GUIDANCE
There are various tools that work in tandem with this standards and guidance document. Within the
Transfort department, other important guidance tools that may provide guidance on facilities and
services include: Transfort Strategic Operating Plan (TSOP), Transfort Operating Manual (TOM),
and Transfort Service Standards. Additional documents that govern site development include:
Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC) and Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). If
conflicts arise between these documents, the more specific and/or stringent standard will apply.

2. THE BIG PICTURE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Bus stops are a critical part of the transit system as they serve as the first point of contact between
the customer and the service. In addition, bus stop placement throughout the community acts
to promote alternative modes of transportation to the traveling public. The spacing, location and
design all affect the operation of the transit system and, in turn, the transit patron’s satisfaction.
The standards and guidance in this document are intended to guide the design of transit stops that
complement their immediate surroundings, meet the transit patron’s comfort and safety needs,
and support an efficient transit network.
The placement of transit stops is guided by safety considerations, community context, patron’s
origins and destinations, opportunity, and Transfort’s strategic planning efforts. The TSOP is
Transfort’s long range planning tool; however, it is possible that community growth and change will
occur in ways not anticipated by the TSOP, and therefore routes and bus stops may be different from
those envisioned in the TSOP. The TSOP proposed long range routes are depicted in Figure 2 below.
2.2 TRANSIT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The City of Fort Collins operates its own transit system, which is branded as Transfort. Transfort
operates fixed route transportation within the City of Fort Collins and in parts of unincorporated
Larimer County. Complementary paratransit service is contracted to and operated by Veolia
Transportation. A regional express route, known as FLEX, is provided through a partnership
between Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, Longmont and Boulder County. Transfort bus stops
are located within Fort Collins city limits as well as in unincorporated Larimer County, the City of
Loveland, the Town of Berthoud, Boulder County and the City of Longmont.
Transfort’s route map (August 2015) is provided below in Figure 1. Following Figure 1 is a map
of the long range vision for transit service in and surrounding Fort Collins, Figure 2. This map
illustrates the TSOP vision for a full transition into a productivity-based grid system. It incorporates
the Phase 3 planned routes, along with additional recommendations from other adopted plans

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 4
and new routes that have been added since the TSOP’s adoption. The purpose of this map is to
indicate where new bus stops will be located as development occurs throughout the city.

2.3 BUS STOP INSTALLATION AND
UPGRADE — HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?
There are just over 500 existing bus stops in the Transfort system; of these, some meet the
standards outlined in this document and some do not. In addition to existing bus stops that
Transfort currently serves, the TSOP sets forth a plan for expanded service which will require new
transit facilities throughout Transfort’s service area.
There are a variety of ways transit facilities are installed and upgraded throughout the Transfort
system, and they are described below:
• Transfort’s Capital Improvement Plan — The Improvement Plan, which is based on
location specific criteria, identified in the Bus Stop Development Form (Appendix 1) and
Section 4.5, prioritizes bus stop improvements in the Transfort Service Area. Transfort
anticipates an annual budget of $100,000, based on dedicated tax revenue (Building on
Basics), for bus stop improvements. It is estimated that this amount will fund approximately
7–10 bus stops annually. Transfort also pursues grants to fund additional improvements.
Improvements are generally implemented according to the Improvement Plan, but obstacles
do arise as described in Section 2.4.
• Transfort’s Service Agreement for Bus Stops — Transfort contracts with an advertising
company for the installation, provision of passenger amenities and maintenance of Transfort’s
bus stops. This agreement permits Transfort to request solid surface upgrades to bus stops
that are located within public right-of-way (ROW) and installation of passenger amenities
at bus stops in Transfort’s service area. In a typical year, this agreement provides for the
upgrade of approximately 10 bus stops.
• Development and/or Redevelopment — As properties develop and redevelop within city
limits the City’s Land Use Code (LUC) requires that the development accommodate both
the existing and planned transit network (LUC Section 3.6.5 text included in Appendix 2).
This requires developers to provide the necessary transit infrastructure and passenger
amenities, if applicable, on or adjacent to their property. Developer responsibilities may
include: dedicating additional public ROW; dedicating a Transit Easement; installation of a
bus stop solid surface; installation of a bus pullout; and installation of or payment in lieu for
RFP 9136 Bus Shelter Advertising & Maintenance Page 64 of 147
TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 7
the applicable bus stop passenger amenities, all in accordance with the standards set forth
in this document.
Transfort does not have control over which stops are improved via this method. Bus stop
improvements may not be in accordance with the Improvement Plan Priorities set forth
in this document.
• City Capital Improvement and Street Maintenance Projects — Every year the
City’s Engineering and Streets Departments implement capital improvements and street
maintenance. These departments manage infrastructure improvements and work with
Transfort to help upgrade bus stops, as needed in the area of the project’s impact. Since
stops improved through this method are opportunistic, improvements may not reflect the
same priorities as listed in the Improvement Plan.

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 8
2.4 OBSTACLES TO IMPROVING
TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE
Many obstacles exist outside of Transfort’s control, which makes providing quality transit facilities
challenging at times. Obstacles to improving bus stops include: available space (including public
ROW) for stop infrastructure (solid surface and passenger amenities); accessible neighborhood
sidewalks connecting to stops; accessible street crossings; and temporary obstacles such as those
due to weather events like snow, rain or hail. Transfort actively works with other City departments
to make improvements to the sidewalk network and to add accessible bus stops in conjunction
with City construction activities. However, it will take many years for all stops to be improved
because infrastructure deficiencies are widespread. Images 1, 2 and 3 below demonstrate some
of the obstacles that limit transit facility improvements.

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 9
2.5 BUS STOP MAINTENANCE
AND ADVERTISING
Transfort, like many transit agencies across the nation, utilizes advertising revenue to provide
both maintenance of and passenger amenities at bus stops. Transfort contracts this service with
an advertising contractor, allowing them to advertise at Transfort bus stops. In return, Transfort
benefits from a portion of the advertising revenue, as well as the contractor’s maintenance of bus
stops (including snow removal) and the contractor’s provision of passenger amenities and solid
surface installation at locations within public ROW. However, advertising is not permitted at all
bus stops within Transfort’s network. In single family residential areas, for example, advertising
is limited to side-yards. In addition, certain areas may not be appropriate for advertising, such as
historically significant sites. In such cases, Transfort has a limited number of non-advertising bus
stop benches and shelters that can be used if advertising is deemed to be incompatible with the
character of the area.
Images 4–7 below are examples of advertising at Transfort bus stops.

3. STREET-SIDE CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section discusses preferred and alternative street-side or in-street stop designs. Street-side
characteristics refer to features associated with the roadway that influence transit operations.
These features include elements such as: traffic speeds, street design, intersection design and
the location of acceleration/deceleration lanes. Street-side features influence the location of and
in-street design of bus stops. It is important to note that since stop designs were developed
based on standard roadway characteristics, the on-site context may call for locations or designs
that are tailored to that context. Ultimately, Transfort staff, with the input from the City’s Traffic,
Engineering and FC Moves Departments, will make the final decision on the location and design
that is appropriate for a given situation.

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 11
3.2 STOP SPACING
Stop spacing refers to the distance between stops along a bus route. Stop spacing takes into
consideration the trade-offs between vehicle travel times and walking distances to bus stops.
While more frequently placed bus stops reduce walking distances, it also slows down bus service.
In contrast, longer distances between stops increases vehicle speed but may result in customers
having to walk longer distances to get to bus stops. This is described in TCRP’s Report 19 as trade-
offs between operating efficiencies and customer accessibility, as follows:
Table 1 — Trade-offs of Stop Spacing
TCRP Report 19 also describes the industry standards for bus stop spacing typically being
subdivided by land use types/densities or locating stops near major trip generators. This suggests
using closer spaced stops in more densely populated areas, such as the central business core,
and increasing space between stops when approaching more suburban and rural areas of the
community. In addition Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) type routes generally suggest an increased
distance between stops to decrease travel times. Table 2 below describes typical ranges for the
different land use environments.
Transfort uses these ranges as references, but in general the main considerations for bus stop
locating and spacing are safety, such as reducing bus and vehicle conflicts, and major trip
generators, such as, community activity centers and concentrations of residences and businesses.
Where feasible, stops shall be located approximately ¼ mile apart. In locations where stop spacing
is more then ⅓ mile apart, a midpoint stop may be considered if adjacent land uses warrant such
additional stop placement.

⅛ mile – ¼ mile spacing)

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 12
Table 2 — Recommended Bus Stop Spacing
3.3 STOP LOCATING
There are three location options for bus stops: near-side, far-side and mid-block, as shown in
Figure 3 below. Far-side stops are, in general, Transfort’s preferred stop location because they
are shown to be the safest for passengers exiting the bus and minimize conflicts with other
vehicles. However, a mid-block or near-side stop may be more appropriate in some situations.
Many factors influence the location of stops, such as site specific safety considerations, traffic
patterns, intersection geometry, passenger origins and destinations, pedestrian accessibility, route
design and available space. Transfort staff determine which stop location is most appropriate for
each individual situation, and Table 3 may be used to help make a decision based on the trade-
offs of each possible location.

NEAR-SIDE STOP
Use if:
• Destinations are
focused at the
near-side corner
• Route pattern calls for
near-side location
• Available space is
limited on far-side
• Allows passengers to access buses
close to the crosswalk
• Eliminates the potential for double

FAR-SIDE STOP
Use if:
• Destinations are on
both sides of street
or on the far side of
the intersection
• Minimizes conflicts between right-
turning vehicles and buses
• Allows for additional right-turn
capacity (because bus is not
stopping in the right turn lane)
• Minimizes sight distance
difficulties on approach
to intersections
• Encourages pedestrians to cross
behind the bus
• Bus can merge into traffic more
easily, taking advantage of gaps
• Stopped buses may block
intersections during
congested periods
• May cause a bus to stop twice in
short order: once at a red light
and once at the bus stop
• May increase rear-end accidents if
drivers do not anticipate the bus
stopping after the intersection
TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 15
3.4 IN-STREET DESIGN
The In-Street Design refers to the location that the bus stops in the street to approach the bus
stop, such as in a bus pullout, travel lane, bike lane or on a road shoulder. Determining what
design is appropriate depends on safety considerations, street design, available space, ridership
and other factors. Most of Transfort’s buses stop in bike or travel lanes, but bus pullouts may be
used in areas where there is high ridership, a large number of route transfers or where traffic is
considered to be high volume. Queue jumps refer to an intersection design that allows the bus
to move ahead of queueing traffic to progress through high congestion intersections quicker.
Queue jumps and bus pullouts typically originate from recommendations of a corridor, sub-area or
service-related planning effort (e.g. Harmony Road Enhanced Travel Corridor Alternatives Analysis,
Lincoln Corridor Plan, or West Central Area Plan). In addition, a bus pullout may be required when
multiple routes transfer at the location. Foothills Mall provides an example of such a situation.
In-Street Design alternatives are illustrated below in Figures 4 and 5. Bus pullouts, shall be designed
to the detail shown in LCUASS drawing 711. The flow chart in Figure 6 helps to determine what
In-Street Design is appropriate, and the trade-off of each design is described in Table 4.

4. CURB-SIDE CHARACTERISTICS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes criteria that all bus stops shall meet, provides preferred layout of passenger
amenities at stops and recommends how amenities should be distributed throughout the Transfort
service area. Curbside characteristics refer to features associated with the comfort, safety and
convenience of customers at bus stops outside of the roadway. These features include factors like
sidewalk width, connections to adjacent land uses, and bus stop passenger amenities such as
shelters, benches, bike racks, trash and recycling receptacles and lighting. Newly constructed or
altered bus stops shall meet the standards in this section to the maximum extent feasible.

4.2 UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND
ADA ACCESSIBILITY
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 regulated enforceable accessibility standards for
new construction and alterations to places of public accommodation, which include bus stops.
The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, the most recent guidance, outlines the following
four basic principles to accomplishing ADA accessibility at bus stops, as it applies to all newly
constructed or altered Transfort bus stops.
1) Surface — the bus stop boarding and alighting area shall have a firm, stable surface;
2) Dimensions — the bus stop boarding and alighting area shall provide a clear length of 8'
minimum, measured from the curb, and a clear width of 5' minimum, measured parallel to
the roadway.
Figure 6 — ADA Dimensions of Bus Boarding and Alighting Area
3) Connection — the bus stop boarding and alighting area shall be connected to streets, sidewalks,
or pedestrian paths by an accessible route, of at least 4' wide.
4) Slope — the slope of the bus stop boarding and alighting area shall be the same as the roadway
to the maximum extent practical, and not steeper than 1:48, a 2% grade.
RFP 9136 Bus Shelter Advertising & Maintenance Page 79 of 147
TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 22
If a bus stop has a shelter, there shall be a minimum clear floor space of 30" wide by 48" deep inside
the shelter and an accessible path leading from the shelter to the boarding and alighting area.
Figure 7 — ADA Interior Bus Shelter Space
4.3 BUS STOP TYPES
Transfort has four typical stop types tailored to the context of each stop area. Higher ridership
areas or areas with high concentrations of youth, senior, disabled or low-income populations are
recommended to have a higher level of patron amenities such as a shelter, bench, bike rack,
trash receptacle and lighting. Lower ridership areas may have fewer amenities. The Bus Stop
Development Form (Appendix 1) will assist in determining what stop type is appropriate. The stop
types are described below:

• Type I – Sign Stop — A bus stop with a bus stop sign and basic ADA accessible landing
surface are the primary features of this stop type, meaning there is no bench or shelter. This
is the most basic stop type and is appropriate for low land-use density and low ridership areas.
Figures 8 and 9 and images 10 and 11 show standard and constrained options for this type of
stop, depending on the available right-of-way and sidewalk design.

• Type II – Bench Stop — This describes a bus stop with a stand-alone bench as the primary
feature, and which does not include a shelter. The stop should also have a bus stop sign, bike
rack and trash receptacle. The most appropriate use of Bench Stops is areas with low to mid
ridership potential. Figures 10 and 11 and images 12 and 13 show standard and constrained
options for Type II – Bench Stops.
RFP 9136 Bus Shelter Advertising & Maintenance Page 82 of 147
TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 25
• Type III – Shelter Stop — This describes a bus stop with a shelter as the primary feature.
This stop type should also include a bus stop sign, at least one bench, a trash receptacle, one
or more bike racks, interior lighting and advertising panels. A Shelter Stop should be used in
areas with medium to high ridership potential, high concentrations of elderly, youth, disabled
and low-income populations and in areas with high exposure to the elements.
• There are four alternative designs for Type III stops. The alternative chosen depends on the
sidewalk design, public right-of-way and existing structures that may render the standard
design impractical. Transfort staff will assist in determining which design is appropriate
for each individual situation. Figures 12–19 and images 14–17 show examples of Type
III Shelter Stop configurations. The existing stop images aren’t necessarily compliant
with the organization/siting recommendations for passenger amenities in this section,
for the appropriate organization/siting of passenger amenities, see the “amenity detail”
following each Type III configuration.

• Type IV – Station Stop — This describes a bus stop that has enhanced passenger amenities
such as a ticket vending machine, real time next bus LED and/or digital signage, a unique shelter
structure, as well as the standard passenger amenities provided at Type III stops. Elements
required at a Station Stop include those identified in Image 18 and Section 4.4 below. MAX
Stations are currently the only Station Stops in Transfort’s system. Stations should be used
on specialty routes, most often in Enhanced Travel Corridors as defined in the Transportation
Master Plan as “uniquely designed corridors that are planned to incorporate high frequency
transit, bicycling and walking as part of the corridor.”

4.4 PASSENGER AMENITIES
Passenger amenities are a significant element in attracting people to use public transportation.
Shelters are the most preferred passenger amenity because they offer the best protection from
the elements. Other important amenities include: benches; customer information such as transit
maps; real-time bus arrival information and directional signage; lighting; bike racks; and trash and
recycling facilities. All passenger amenities should be located within public right-of-way or within
a dedicated transit easement. The Bus Stop Passenger Amenities required, based on Stop Type
described in Section 4.3, are provided in Table 5. In addition, see the Bus Stop Development Form
in Appendix 1 for determining stop type.
• Bus Stop Sign — All active bus stops (except Type IV Station Stops) are required to have a
Transfort bus stop sign. Signage includes a round bus stop sign and a routes served sign.
Transfort will arrange for the installation of the signage at the time service is initiated at a stop.
• Solid Surface and full ADA Accessibility — All newly constructed or altered bus stops shall
have a solid surface at least as large as the minimum size described in the Stop Types in
Section 4.3 and comply with the four dimensions of accessibility described in Section 4.2.
Newly implemented routes offer an exception to this rule, as sometimes stop locations need
to be monitored to ensure they are in the best location prior to making the full investment
upgrading the stop infrastructure. Final stop locations are generally finalized within two years.
• Bench – All new benches shall be selected from the options described in this section and
shall be powder coated in either RAL 7047 (for benches in shelters) or RAL 7039 (for
stand-alone benches), refer to the Shelter Paint Colors on page 31. Images 21-23 depict the
acceptable options.

Type III and IV stops and are an option at Type I and II stops. Lower ridership stops may
utilize a pole mounted trash receptacle, and higher ridership stops (projected over 25 daily
boardings) shall provide a stand-alone trash receptacle from the options below, and should
be powder coated in RAL 7047 or RAL 7039.

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 34
• Lighting — Solar lighting panels are included on the roof of the approved shelter options
described previously. Type I and II stops typically do not have their own lighting, and instead
utilize nearby street lights and lighting from neighboring businesses. Pole mounted lighting
may be an option for stops with limited nearby lighting.
• Transit System Map — Transfort installs transit system maps at high ridership Type III
stops (over 50 daily boardings). System maps are only installed at Type III stops because
the shelter provides a mounting location for the map display case.
• Transit Route Map/Schedules(s) — Transfort typically installs individual route maps at
high ridership Type III stops (over 50 daily boardings). Route maps are only installed at Type
III stops because the shelter provides a mounting location for the map display case.
• Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) — Ticket vending machines are included at MAX stations
and in the example Type IV Station Stop design, as shown in Images 18–20. However, while
TVMs remain a recommended element, the need for TVMs may be reduced as Transfort
moves towards mobile ticket purchase options.
• Digital Signage — Digital signage is recommended at all Type IV Station Stops and may be
installed by Transfort at high use and/or transfer bus stops. Digital signs, which are LED
panels and/or LCD screens, typically display real-time bus arrival information, rider alerts,
and other critical passenger information.
• Ground Mounted Tactile — Type IV Station Stops are recommended to include ground
mounted tactile surfaces adjacent to boarding and alighting areas.
• Paper Schedules — Paper schedules are typically provided just at transit centers, but
could be considered for high ridership stops as needed. This information would be provided
by Transfort.
• Security Cameras and Emergency Call Box — Security cameras and emergency call
boxes are recommended to be provided at Type IV Station Stops.
• Wind Screen — Wind screens are integrated into the standard shelter designs, but depending
on the orientation of the shelter, the standard wind screens may not be adequate for the
specific location. If wind is deemed to be an issue at a particular stop, a custom wind panel
should be considered in addition to or in lieu of the standard shelter wind panel.

• Secure Bike Parking — Secure bike parking is an optional element at any stop, but should
be considered at high use stops, especially transit centers and/or park-n-rides.
• Braille Signage — Braille signage is not a standard element at bus stops, but has been
recommended to be evaluated further following the completion of this document. Section
5.3 discusses next steps related to Braille Signage.
• Wayfinding Signage — Wayfinding signage is optional at all bus stops but is recommended
at Type IV Station stops.

4.5 BUS STOP TYPE DETERMINATION
The selection of the appropriate stop type should consider both qualitative and quantitative
measures, such as:
• ridership potential and/or existing ridership,
• neighboring land uses, including concentrations of youth, seniors, disabled, and low-income
populations (e.g. schools, housing or social service agencies)
• proximity to defined activity centers (as part of City Plan), and
• exposure to the elements.
As new stops are developed, the following criteria should be used to determine the appropriate stop
type. Please refer to the Bus Stop Development Form in Appendix 1 for a site specific evaluation form.
Higher priority for upgrades should be given to bus stops with mid-high ridership (above 50
boardings per day), demographic considerations such as youth, senior, disabled and low-income
population concentrations within ¼ mile of the stop, and stops with high exposure to the elements.

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 38
As noted previously, Transfort serves just over 500 bus stops; some of which meet the design and
amenity distribution standards outlined in Sections 3 and 4. This section is intended to describe
Transfort’s plan to bring bus stops into compliance with these standards as well as the City’s
Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan as adopted in 1992.
The Transition Plan set forth a five year approach to achieving full compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act standards. At that time, Transfort had a much smaller service area and
anticipated that full compliance could be achieved through a $17,000 investment in bus stop solid
surface improvements. The plan presumed that once existing stops were brought into compliance,
future stops would be developed in accordance with the ADA standards. However, that was not the
case and many of Transfort’s current stops are not compliant with ADA standards.
In 2013, a full inventory of bus stops was completed. This identified that only 32% of Transfort’s
stops met the ADA standards described in Section 4.2. Since 2013’s inventory, service has been
eliminated in some areas (College Avenue and Timberline Road) and new service has been added
to other areas (Mason Corridor, North Timberline Road, West Vine Drive, East Drake Road and
East Horsetooth Road). In addition, as of spring 2015, approximately 50 stops had been upgraded
to meet ADA standards. Transfort managed projects upgrading 27 stops, including 18 MAX
stations and nine stops throughout the community; private development upgraded upwards of
seven stops; and Transfort’s advertising contractor upgraded 16 stops. Based on this information
Transfort estimates that now approximately 35% of bus stops meet ADA accessibility requirements.
Inventorying of bus stops is ongoing and Transfort will have a more accurate understanding of ADA
compliance by the end of 2015.
Based on the previous estimate, approximately 330 bus stops in Transfort’s service area are not
in compliance with ADA standards. Many of these are located in areas with limited neighborhood
sidewalks. In addition to the cost of any necessary connecting sidewalks, bus stop improvements
can range between $2,500 to $30,000 depending on the available public ROW and other site
specific characteristics (an average is estimated at $10,000 for each stop). Stops on the low
5. NEXT STEPS
5.1 INTRODUCTION

TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 39
end are generally within public ROW and have level grading to build on. Stops on the higher end
are in areas that often require negotiations with private property owners before any accessible
infrastructure can be installed and where drainage or grading challenges are present. The obstacles
to upgrading bus stops is described more thoroughly in Section 2.4.
This information leads Transfort to estimate that full compliance with ADA standards would cost
between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 (in 2015 dollars). Transfort’s Bus Stop Improvement Plan, in
Section 5.2, describes Transfort’s phased approach to achieving (at a minimum) ADA accessibility
at all bus stops as well as compliance with the bus stop type and amenity distribution standards in
this document.
Section 2.3 — “Bus Stop Installation and Upgrade — How does it happen?” explains the four
primary ways that bus stops are upgraded:
• Transfort Bus Stop Improvement Plan
• Transfort’s Advertising Contractor
• Development and/or Redevelopment
• City Capital Projects and Street Maintenance Program
This section focuses on stops improved through the Transfort Bus Stop Improvement Plan and by
Transfort’s advertising contractor. Transfort’s Bus Stop Improvement Plan is not all inclusive of
every Transfort stop, since two other improvement methods, Development/Redevelopment and
City Capital Projects – Street Maintenance Projects, will also result in upgraded stops throughout
the community.
5.2 TRANSFORT BUS STOP
IMPROVEMENT PLAN
This April, City of Fort Collins residents approved a 10-year 0.25% sales tax for Capital Projects. In
addition to other City Capital Projects, this tax includes a dedication of an average of $100,000 a year
to bus stop improvements in the Transfort service area. It is anticipated that this will fund an average
of 10 stops a year over the next 10 years for a total of 100 stops (between 2016 and 2026). This
RFP 9136 Bus Shelter Advertising & Maintenance Page 97 of 147
TRANSFORT BUS STOP DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 40
funding can also serve as local as leverage for grants for additional stop improvements. In addition,
Transfort can work with their advertising contractor to upgrade additional stops within public ROW.
Based on this identified funding source and Transfort’s working relationship with their advertising
contractor, Transfort projects an average of 15–20 stops be improved to meet the new design standards
each year based on the priorities described in Section 4.5. To reiterate, priority for bus stop upgrades
are given to areas that do not meet ADA requirements and meet the following criteria:
• Mid-high ridership (above 50 boardings per day),
• Demographic considerations such as youth, senior, disabled and low-income population
concentrations within ¼ mile of the stop
• Stops with high exposure to the elements
5.3 RECOMMENDED FUTURE ACTIONS
• Grant Funding — The City should pursue grant funding to leverage the limited local funding
to accelerate the Transfort Bus Stop Improvement Plan.
• Snow Removal on Adjacent Sidewalks — The inconsistent removal of snow surrounding
bus stops was a point of concern for the Citizen Advisory Committee that helped guide the
development of this document. Transfort would not be the appropriate leader to initiating
this discussion, but the City’s Street Maintenance and Code Enforcement Departments will
be made aware of the concerns expressed.
• Braille Signage — Braille signage was identified as an element of interest by the Citizen
Advisory Committee that guided the development of this document. Following the adoption
of this document, Transfort will establish a group of interested transit users to help determine
how Braille signage could be implemented and what the Braille signage should say.

3.6.5 Bus Stop Design Standards (update in progress)
(A) Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to ensure that new development adequately
accommodates existing and planned transit service by integrating facilities designed and located
appropriately for transit into the development plan.
(B) General Standard. All development located on an existing or planned transit route shall install
a transit stop and other associated facilities on an easement dedicated to the City or within public
right-of-way as prescribed by the City of Fort Collins Bus Stop Design Standards and Guidelines
in effect at the time of installation, unless the Director of Community Services determines that
adequate transit facilities consistent with the Transit Design Standards already exist to serve the
needs of the development. All development located on existing transit routes will accommodate
the transit facilities by providing the same at the time of construction. All development located on
planned routes will accommodate said facilities by including the same in the development plan
and escrowing funds in order to enable the city or its agents to construct the transit facilities at the
time transit service is provided to the development. All facilities installed shall, upon acceptance
by the City, become the property of the City and shall be maintained by the City or its agent.
(C) Location of Existing and Planned Transit Routes. For the purposes of application of this
standard, the location of existing transit routes shall be defined by the Transfort Route Map in
effect at the time the application is approved. The location of planned transit routes shall be
defined according to the Transfort Strategic Operating Plan, as amended.

In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Service Provider shall furnish a copy of this
Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and shall promptly advise
the City in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Service Provider ceases to perform services for the City, or the City so
requests for any reason, the Service Provider shall promptly return to the City any and all
information described hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or summaries (handwritten or
