Transportation station markers and pylons are a great way to make public transportation stations, like bus rapid transit and subway shelters, more visible to pedestrians and passersby on city and suburban sidewalks. At Dimensional Innovations, we have helped transit systems create unique, highly visible pylons and station markers that incorporate specific branding and even advertising.
Using pylons, you can lead people to rail, subway, and bus station entrances without taking up much of the sidewalk real estate. If you are looking for unique, interactive transportation markers and pylons, we can help you develop something that is bound to get noticed.

Creating Station Markers and Pylons
There is nothing more frustrating than being completely lost in any public transportation station. That’s why we are dedicated to creating station markers and pylons that help people navigate the complicated public transportation stations of large metropolitan areas.
When people feel like they can safely, efficiently determine how to navigate public transportation properly, they are more likely to continue to use it. In 2019, Americans took 9.9 billion trips on various means of public transportation, so it is vital to create signage to help people get to their desired destination.
With detailed, well-designed signs and pylons, you can build trust with members of your community. At Dimensional Innovations, we can create something that will stand out while still providing the information that people need to know. For many transportation stations, this means showcasing departure and arrival times, locations of stops, and other pertinent information that travelers need to know.
Did you know that you can incorporate technology into your station markers and pylons? We can not only design amazing pieces, but we can also use technology to make it easier to display a lot of information all at once. When you discuss your needs with our team, we will find the best solution to meet your needs and those of your customers.
As a transportation station marker design company, we can help create pylons and signage for the following means of public transportation:
Bus rapid transit (BRT) stations are one of the most common projects we work on. BRT shelters, like those we created for the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority in conjunction with HNTB Architects. The 20 bus shelters were created use tempered glass from Starfire™ and steel to help protect riders as they wait for the buses to arrive. The real-time kiosks alert riders to the exact times the bus will arrive. These BRT shelters also feature bright LED lights, making the areas well-lit and safer for all riders.
We have completed similar BRT projects in Omaha and Tulsa, as well. Both of these projects include large, branded pylons that stick out among the rest of the streetscape. In Tulsa, we implemented covered shelters, bike racks, and real-time arrival signs that help keep riders on schedule. The Omaha BRT project included 24 station canopies and pillar signs that are located throughout the metro area. We also added lighting, security cameras, and emergency phones to the canopies, and real-time notifications keep riders well-informed about bus arrival times.
