MTD Superstops

Urban designers & architects for new stops along a major transit corridor stretching through downtown Santa Barbara.

“Superstops” are innovative, district- specific transit nodes designed to integrate multiple public amenities (vendors, ATM, rider information, etc.) to promote ridership and improve the function and appearance of transit in the streetscape.

An architectural rendering of modern transit "Superstops" on a wide sidewalk. The scene features three green metal-and-glass shade structures with integrated benches and latticed supports. Tall palm trees are interspersed between the stops, and ghostly figures of pedestrians walk along the sidewalk next to a large building with grid-patterned windows.
A top-down architectural site plan of the MTD Superstops. The diagram shows the rectangular footprints of three transit shelters arranged along a wide sidewalk, interspersed with large, star-shaped palm tree symbols and decorative paving patterns.
