This capstone project focuses on developing strategies and recommendations for improving system cleanliness and passenger perception given limited funds for operation. We will talk to industry experts, synthesize existing research, and gather additional information to provide insights for the transit industry.

This study aims to identify strategies that transit agencies can implement to protect bus riders from extreme weather conditions at bus stops.

We will look at the relationship between fixed route and microtransit, various success metrics of microtransit, as well as considerations for all stakeholders in the service delivery process.

This capstone project will focus on how transit agencies currently design, fund, train, and operate service for this population and actions agencies can take to reduce barriers to entry and improve customer experience for people with vision impairments.
