Volunteer with ABQ Ride and Adopt Your Neighborhood Bus Stop
ABQ Ride bus stops, nearly 3,000 in all, are located in every neighborhood throughout the City of Albuquerque. These stops provide a safe and comfortable location for bus riders as they wait for their ride. Each bus stop is a high-visibility point of connection between the City and those who live in it. These are gathering places for hundreds of people every day, and they require regular maintenance and oversight.
With your assistance, we can all help keep our community spaces clean, promote ridership, and encourage alternative/sustainable transportation options. We welcome individuals, families, companies, civic groups, schools, church groups, and youth groups interested in becoming part of the Adopt-A-Stop program. Everyone benefits from this environmentally conscious program – residents, property owners, businesses, visitors, and transit riders.
Our Adopt-a-Stop volunteers are provided with everything they need to safely assist with maintaining their bus stop. These volunteers are also the eyes and ears for our transit department--they have a direct point of contact to notify when additional graffiti and litter removal assistance is required from the city.
Volunteer Requirements
- Keep the bus stop area free of debris and litter
- Report damage to bus stop fixtures
- Light graffiti removal
- Inform ABQ ride about additional stop needs and maintenance
- Weekly stop maintenance
