About the Adopt-A-Shelter Program
\n<\/em><\/strong>
\nAdoption requires maintaining the shelter and assisting in removing trash in and around the shelter area on a monthly basis.\u00a0 The City of Raleigh provides trash bags, disposable gloves and safety vests to assist in the trash removal around adopted shelters.\u00a0 Volunteers are also asked to notify City of Raleigh staff of any special maintenance needs and report vandalism or suspicious activity.<\/p>\n

Residents can sign up for a one-year commitment to keep the adopted bus shelter clean for CAT riders, and all of the 184 bus shelters throughout the City of Raleigh are available for adoption.<\/p>\n

\n

The Raleigh brigade has entered the Code for America Race for Reuse campaign, which is looking to have 20 new shelters adopted by December 6 to meet its success criteria.<\/p>\n

We think we can double the existing adoption rate from 20 adopters to 40 adopters during the campaign,\u201d said Jason Hibbets, a Code for Raleigh brigade captain. \u201cOver the coming weeks, we hope to drive awareness of the bus shelter adoption program and host a \u2018civic-athon\u2019 on December 1 to sign-up new users, add new features and create Triangle Wiki<\/a> pages about each adopted shelter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Civic-athon Event December 1st<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Register today<\/a>\u00a0and save the date for Saturday, December 1 to Adopt a Raleigh bus shelter and address bug\/feature requests to the web application.\u00a0 The event will be located in downtown Raleigh, but the exact location has not been announced.<\/p>\n
