Supporting Riders Through Partnership: Kiewit’s Sponsored Bench

Kiewit’s Go Green Committee sponsored a new recycled-plastic bench at the 87th & Scarborough stop, adding a sustainable and welcoming amenity for riders. The committee has also shown interest in our developing Adopt-A-Stop program, which encourages community partners to support local bus stops. We’re thankful for their collaboration and commitment to sustainability.
