Illumination is a known deterrent against crime. Solar powered LED bus stop lighting helps to improve ridership by increasing the sense of safety and overall transit experience. Solar powered solutions also eliminate the requirement for trenching power lines to transit stop locations, thus reducing the transit authority’s overall carbon footprint. Incorporating Urban Solar’s PV-Shelter and PV-Stop products further enhance public perception of transit as a safe, economical and environmentally friendly transportation choice.
