7 New Bus Stops Lit by Solar Powered Lights to be Added to Route 347 in NY

New York State Department of Transportation officially began work on the  $26.8 million "green" initiative that aims to transform Route 347 into an environmentally conscious, motorist- and pedestrian-friendly highway on Sept. 14.

Solar and light-emitting diode lighting will provide better efficiency while cutting maintenance costs.

Seven new bus stops lit by solar-powered lights will be added to the stretch. 

Way to go New York!!! Do you realize that solar powered lights are being installed everywhere, not just in NV and AZ!

Washington State University Gets City's First Solar Lit Bus Shelters

In today's news we have another example of solar powered lights being used for safety and the need for green. Isn't it amazing how many different uses of solar lights are being used commercially?

The two WSU Spokane bus shelters along Riverpoint Boulevard recently came alight with solar-powered fixtures - a first among the city's bus shelters.

 The work by Facilities Operations fulfills safety requests by students and staff for better lighting on campus, said Jon Schad, FacOps director, especially as the dark winter months approach. But the fixtures also fulfill the need for "green."
