What is the goal of this project?
First, alleviate one or more problems that affect specific bus stops, e.g. graffiti, litter, crime, rider complaints, environmental exposure, or low ridership.
Second, bolster the image of two partners, the city, the Port Authority, and the transit system within the region and the PWPB audience.
Third, stimulate sociability, engagement, and excitement in the surrounding neighborhood.
