Omaha Rapid Bus Transit System

The Nebraska Chapter of the American Concrete Institute awarded ORBT the

2020 Award of Outstanding Achievement for concrete usage in the State of Nebraska.

Transit services are a fundamental asset to any metropolitan area—providing mobility to diverse populations, attracting talented employees to the city, reducing emissions and more. The Omaha Rapid Bus Transit (ORBT) system is the region’s biggest transit investment in decades, allowing passengers to navigate Omaha faster and easier. Despite many hurdles to overcome in the installation of this project—including flooding, harsh winters, and issues relating to COVID-19—the first BRT in Omaha is a success. By investing in more accessible, more efficient transit, Omaha has made a long-term commitment to the needs of its citizens and connecting the region.

 

24

Station canopies and pillar signs created throughout the Omaha Metro

32

Stops in total complete the ORBT route and connect the city

Created in partnership with Omaha Metro, Leo A. Daly and AECOM, Dimensional Innovations fabricated 24 station canopies and Pillar Signs (with more on the way in 2021) that span from Westroads to downtown Omaha along Dodge and Douglas. Where previously bus stops were no more than small shelters or benches on a patch of sidewalk or grass, the new ORBT stations are custom heated concrete platforms with large spacious canopies, lighting, emergency phones, security cameras, kiosks, and real time notifications for upcoming buses. Built on level, raised platforms for convenient docking and featuring ADA-compliant touchscreens, the new stations make city transit easier than ever for those with disabilities.

 

Testimonials

"From start to finish, DI was very responsive and innovative in helping to adjust the canopy structures as needed for not only Metro’s design changes, but the technology components as well."

Joy A. Hottovy Willoughby, PE Senior Project Manager

"[DI] was aware of schedule and cost impacts, always available when issues arose, open and fair with changes in the field and most importantly, provided a quality product that has provided Metro and the City of Omaha an exceptional new bus service with great customer amenities."

Joy A. Hottovy Willoughby, PE Senior Project Manager

Civic + Transit From bus and rapid transit shelters to digital signage systems, we view every transit project as an opportunity to move people, tell a story, connect communities and infuse fun into functional. And all of our work is proudly designed and made in the USA.
