Bus Stop Improvement Project – Buffer Median Islands

UPDATE – This project has been successfully completed and closed out.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we made improvements to select bus stops throughout the City of Fresno.

Closed bus stops with alternative stops

Fresno Area Express (FAX) received a $2.2 million grant from federal, state, and local funds to upgrade 19 bus stops throughout the FAX fixed-route system.  The funding will provide an accessible location to wait for the bus and an accessible pathway for passengers to get to and from the sidewalk to a median bus island bus stop.  Improvements include:  adding or enlarging concrete bus stop landings, construction curb cuts, and adding new bus stop amenities such as shelters, benches and trash receptacles.

A notification has been sent to residents and businesses who may be impacted by construction.
