The Ultimate Bus Shelter Volunteer

Just call him volunteer extraordinaire.

John Branch is the type of guy any organization seeking volunteers would want.

At METRO, he's our No. One adopter in our Adopt-a-Stop/Adopt a Shelter program.

Ssince last June, Branch has adopted 55 METRO bus stop/shelters in his neighborhood of Independence Heights.  After his full-time day job at his remodeling business, he drives a pick-up truck, monitoring METRO bus stops and shelters, picking up trash. His mere presence has deterred crime and discouraged loitering.

If you want to adopt a METRO bus stop or shelter, click here for details. We'll thank you with a certificate, a sign recognizing your organization and five round-trip bus tickets a month.

And you'll get a cleaner, safer neighborhood.
