Victoria, Canada, June 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Urban Solar Corporation (USC), a leading manufacturer of solar powered light emitting diode (LED) lighting solutions, has been awarded a contract to supply Solar Powered LED Bus Stop Systems to Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority (PDRTA) of Florence, South Carolina. Coupling powerful LED technology and intuitive power management with environmentally friendly solar power, USC’s PV-Shelters and PV-Stop provide economical and practical solutions for any transit lighting application.
With fixed route services offered to the City of Florence and surrounding areas, PDRTA sought a product that would offer a self-contained solar powered LED security light. Upon activation of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) push button, a white security down light is activated for awaiting bus passengers. PDRTA officials selected USC's PV-Stop solar-powered bus stop solution after a formal evaluation. As stated by Don Strickland, PDRTA’s Transportation Manager, “We are very pleased with the exceptional customer service provided by USC. This type of project was very new to our organization and USC has helped PDRTA throughout the process. This partnership will eventually benefit our entire service area.”
"Urban Solar is honored to have been selected by the Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority for this award which demonstrates the transit focused features and benefits of our PV-Stop," states Jeff Peters, President, Urban Solar Corp. "The PV-Stop integrates solar energy with bright LED illumination that will result in an environmentally friendly and safe waiting area for PDRTA bus passengers and South Carolina residents.”
