Bus Shelters Go Green in Red Hot Miami

Just ran across this post on the EcoLocalizer blog about the new solar-powered bus shelters in Miami, FL. As part of its 20-year exclusive contract to provide street furniture for the city, Fuel Outdoor is replacing worn-out shelters with 600 new, eco-friendly options. The sleek, modern designs include solar panels to take advantage of the Sunshine State’s key natural resource, and converts this energy into the electricity that powers the backlit ad panels and shelter lights at night. The new installations not only provide eye-catching advertising opportunities, they also improve citizen safety and the urban visual environment without negatively impacting Mother Earth. I’d call that a win for everyone. Kudos to Miami city officials and Fuel Outdoor for setting a good example for other metros to follow.
