Bus Stop Clearing

What This Service Involves

On-property and curbside bus stops become pinch points when plowed snow berms wall riders off from the boarding area. Our crews clear the shelter floor, the boarding pad, and a firm connection from the sidewalk so riders are not stepping over a frozen ridge to reach the bus. We treat the shaded shelter slab where our persistent maritime moisture turns to black ice and keep the seating and posted schedules clear. Riders, including those using mobility devices, reach the bus on stable, treated footing.
