Physician Sign-On: Bakersfield Bus Stop Shade and Heat Protection Act

Physicians in Bakersfield and Kern County are invited to add their names to a letter urging the City of Bakersfield and Golden Empire Transit to advance the Bakersfield Bus Stop Shade and Heat Protection Act.
Golden Empire Transit operates roughly 1,045 stops in the Bakersfield area. Fewer than 17 percent have any shade, and the least-shaded stops sit in the neighborhoods with the highest heat exposure and the highest rates of transit dependence.
The KCMS Board of Directors voted unanimously to support this initiative. Your name and credential will appear among the signatories on the letter delivered to the City Council and the GET Board. Institutional affiliations are listed for identification only and do not imply institutional endorsement.
