Public Comments for: HB285 - Uniform Statewide Building Code; construction of bus shelters.
Good morning I am Courtney Farrar (spell last name), a resident of the East End here in Richmond and a daily bus patron. I am reminded often of the inequities within our transit system while observing the lack of decent and safe places to stand or sit while waiting for said buses. Next time you’re moving about our beautiful Commonwealth, remember not only those deemed to be your average constituents but, remember those living with disabilities, mothers with small children, and others sitting on flipped shopping carts in proximity to the street. An influx of shelters allows these usually cash-strapped constituents to prevent taxi and ride share costs due to the inability to stand or hazardous conditions. Without the passage of House Bill 285, this body will force these vulnerable populations into dangerous and expensive situations to simply get to work, do errands, or participate in other activities.
The Virginia League of Conservation Voters encourages you to SUPPORT HB285 (McQuinn) Uniform Statewide Building Code; bus shelters. This Legislation Would: --Streamline the bus stop improvement process and eliminate unnecessary delays. --Accelerate deployment of Transit Ridership Incentive Program (TRIP) funds to improve the accessibility and safety of our bust transit system’s bus stops and last-foot infrastructure.
