Capital Metro

Accessible and sustainable

transit shelters designed with efficiency

For nearly 40 years, Capital Metro (CapMetro) has provided high-quality public transportation to the booming city of Austin, TX. With the growth of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) initiatives, CapMetro was looking to install accessible and sustainable bus shelters across new transit lines. In collaboration with DI Build, CapMetro, the city of Austin and its partners, DI engineered, fabricated and installed 80 new shelters designed with efficiency and modernization top of mind.

 


Our team used the architect’s conceptual designs as inspiration to fully develop and create these steel shelters in-house. Thanks to our combined design, engineering and build capabilities, all shelter parts are modular, which was paramount for efficiency during the fabrication and shipping process, as well as future replacement if needed. 

All bus shelters are PROWAG compliant, making them fully accessible for all individuals with disabilities. Several of the shelters also feature solar batteries provided by Stealth Power. DI worked in tandem with Stealth Power to ensure kiosks could securely and compactly house the small yet high-power batteries. A number of the solar-equipped shelters are grid-tied on an island, which means they will transmit any excess energy back to Austin Energy to benefit residents. 

BUY-AMERICA CERTIFIED

Sustainability was at the forefront of this project with all materials manufactured domestically.

 


With modularity and efficiency at the forefront, DI was able to engineer, fabricate and install modern bus shelters that promote an accessible, sustainable and turnkey transit solution.
