Adopt-a-Stop Program

Leadership Houston Class XXXII in collaboration with METRO and private donors participated in a project that has helped to build 4 adopt a stop shelters in various areas of Houston. Each stop features solar paneling, artwork from local artists and is our gift to the community in hopes of enhancing our existing public transportation system and improving the quality of life in Houston. The Adopt-a-Stop program, an existing joint effort between METRO Police and community volunteers, is designed to keep communities safe, clean and to provide shelter. Only 20% of current METRO bus stops have a protective cover and this project will help make the stop a more comfortable place for Houstonians to wait. To further enhance the bus stops, Leadership Houston Class XXXII created a plan that will be taken over by METRO and live beyond the Leadership Houston project.
