Above, students share their experiences riding the county’s bus lines with new COLTS Director Tim McGrath. Student Rachel Knuuti’s design for a busy intersection in Minooka includes a safer pickup point and a lane for food trucks. Chris Salisbury’s urban forest would be centrally located on Mulberry Street at the University of Scranton. Miranda Smith presents her innovative use of rail ties to create a much safer bus shelter in front of the Radisson Lackawanna Station hotel.
