24 new bus shelters for Port Huron, Michigan
Tolar Manufacturing Company, North America’s leader in the design and fabrication of award-winning transit shelters, has delivered twenty-four new Signature Sunset Bus Shelters to Port Huron, Michigan as part of an agreement with Blue Water Area Transit (BWAT). Delivery of the shelters began in July 2023 and completed in August of 2024. The shelters are part of an overall plan by BWAT to upgrade the rider experience to continue providing quality service for residents.
“Tolar Manufacturing has been a great partner as we update our tired passenger shelters to a more modern and safe design,” said Lisa Colins, Procurement Manager for Blue Water Area Transport. “We are extremely happy with the quality of the shelters and Tolar’s responsiveness to the minor issues that arise with any major project has been exemplary.”
Tolar has delivered twenty-four 12-ft customized Signature Sunset shelters selected by Blue Water Area Transit to meet the aesthetic and practical needs of their riders and community. The Signature Sunset shelters delivered to Port Huron feature a custom super durable baked powder coat two-tone design along with some of the most critical amenities passengers seek – ¼-in Opal white twin-wall polycarbonate roof panels, a tempered glass front-windscreen with ADA compliant entrances, tempered-glass rear and end walls for weather protection, 100W solar-powered dusk-to-dawn lighting for increased security, and a 6-ft Mesa bench for added comfort.
“Safety and security are common concerns for riders and agencies when thinking about how to improve the bus stop experience,” said Scott Williams, Business Development Manager for Tolar Manufacturing Company. “These tempered-glass shelters offer agencies an opportunity to bring shade and comfort while providing more visibility for added security.”
