American transit agencies have historically neglected bathroom access, but innovative solutions are now emerging, notably via LA Metro's smart bathroom pilot program, which has positively impacted over 100,000 visits. Beyond convenience, these facilities have cut public defecation incidents by 50% and improved station cleanliness, catering especially to riders with medical conditions. Agencies like Caltrain and AC Transit are recognizing the importance of restrooms not just for comfort but as vital for making public transit accessible, particularly for caregivers and those with disabilities. Improved facilities have elevated worker satisfaction, reducing risks related to poor restroom access.
