The Bus Design Innovation Project aimed to improve the security and environment of bus operators. The design provides a barrier that shields the operator’s workspace from the passenger area, which reduces the risk of assaults and protects against biohazards without decreasing view of mirrors. The design also improved ergonomics. The partnership between ATU International, ATU local 113, Centennial College, and Toronto Transit Commission enabled the development of a prototype, which was showcased at the ATU Canada Conference in September 2024.
