Who decides where bus stops or shelters should be?
There are about 7,000 TARC bus stops in the five county service area. TARC looks for locations that offer safety and customer convenience. However, within Louisville Metro, the city or state traffic engineers make the final decision about bus stop location, in consultation with TARC. Bus stop shelters are typically located in areas where there is a high level of passenger activity or where a number of routes come together. Shelters are maintained and purchased by an outdoor advertising company. The newspaper boxes or benches with advertising on them are not affiliated with TARC in anyway.
