The Antelope Valley Transit Authority (AVTA) in Lancaster, CA, in collaboration with Los Angeles County and the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale, recently completed two infrastructure projects funded with more than $425,000 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Major renovations to the Lancaster City Park Transfer Center ranged from the addition of solar lighting to the replacement of benches with four sheltered seating areas with tinted-glass shades. New safety features include extensive solar lighting throughout the parking area, directional signage, and a painted bus lane to deter pedestrians and vehicles from parking in restricted areas.

AVTA also completed construction of a full-service bus stop on Avenue M in Lancaster, across the street from the Michael Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse. The stop—located on previously vacant land—now offers a bus shelter, benches, trash can, and full 12-foot turnout with curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The new stop is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
