ALBUQUERQUE – Today, ABQ Ride joined forces with community volunteers for a day dedicated to keeping Albuquerque’s bus stops and ART stations clean and safe.

“ABQ RIDE is proud to spread the message of One Albuquerque through community collaboration to ensure our City is clean and safe,” said ABQ RIDE Director Leslie Keener. “The Adopt-a-Stop program is a great way to get involved in the community and assist our staff with maintaining our public bus stops.”
