Abstract:

Bus stops can create a variety of legal issues associated with ownership, maintenance, accessibility, accommodations, and environment. This legal digest should inform transit providers and government officials of the different levels of ownership, liability, and maintenance associated with bus stops and bus shelters; identify the categories of legal issues that are associated with ownership and liability; and provide information on the problems and practices of others who have dealt with such problems, including protective provisions in franchise agreements and service provider contracts. It should be useful to attorneys, transit planners and operations officials, state and local governmental officials, environmental and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) advocates, and other transit operators.
