2015 Draft Amendments to Connect Spokane: A Comprehensive Plan for Public Transportation 3.2 Benches STA shall work with local authorities to ensure that bus benches are placed properly, designed adequately, and serve the needs of customers sufficiently. Benches provide comfort for all types of passengers. Although local jurisdictions are responsible for the operations and maintenance of bus benches, coordination with STA increases the likelihood that everyone’s needs are being met. Generally, STA recommends bench locations which meet one of the following criteria: 1) 10 or more weekday average boardings 2) Transfer point between two or more routes 3) Adjacent to ridership generator with a high proportion percentage of riders with limited mobility
