Transfort Installs Solar Lighting for Safety at Bus Stops

A solar lighting pilot program will illuminate about 20 bus stops in Fort Collins, Colorado that are not currently lit from another source, like nearby streetlights or bus shelters.

The new lights are completely solar-powered with a battery storage system large enough to last five days. Riders will be able to activate the light using a push-button placed at an ADA-accessible height. The light will stay illuminated for approximately five minutes.

The solar lights comply with the City’s Night Sky initiative directing light downward and are used only where and when they are needed.
