Building on earlier field engagement, consultations, and on the ground assessments, the Modernized and Climate-Resilient Bus Stop Design Standards and Guidelines have been published, marking a practical step toward improving safety, accessibility, and user experience in public transport, particularly for women.

Developed under the Enhancing Women’s Economic Opportunities (EWEO) program, this milestone was supported by the Reform Secretariat at the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) through the Jordan Growth MDTF, in partnership with the World Bank and in close collaboration with the LTRC.

The initiative supports reforms that promote safer and more inclusive mobility, particularly for women, persons with disabilities, and vulnerable groups, while integrating climate resilience considerations into public infrastructure planning.

The new standards introduce improved design elements that enhance accessibility, comfort, and environmental sustainability, including measures to strengthen resilience to climate conditions such as extreme temperatures.

This achievement contributes to Jordan’s broader reform agenda and supports national priorities related to sustainable transport, inclusion, and climate-responsive investments, in line with the Economic Modernization Vision and ongoing reform programs.
