Yosemite national park solar transit shelter

Yosemite National Park is one of the most treasured environments in the
United States -- and also the site of serious congestion. The Park Service is
working to reduce traffic and pollution by expanding an existing shuttle bus
service and introducing electric buses, necessitating a new infrastructure of
shelters at the shuttle stops.

Kiss + Cathcart has completed designs for a prototypical bus shelter
incorporating photovoltaic panels. The Park will begin installing the first of
nineteen new shuttle stops in summer of 2000. The shelters located near
existing electical lines will send the power they generate into the grid system
serving Yosemite, while more remote shelters will have battery storage for
self-sufficient lighting and radio service.
