Station Naming Policy Station Names will reflect the following principles: Transit system context: names will reflect the property’s location, relative to the entire • transit system, and not duplicated elsewhere. Property area: provide specific information about the property’s location relative to • the surrounding area. Neighborhood identity: acknowledge the communities and neighborhoods serviced • by the station and stops. • Simplicity: names will be short, easily recognizable and fit for signage and mapping. Character limit: preferred maximum of 24 characters to ensure ADA readability and fit • within signage system. 33
