Specifically, this document is concerned with the use of light emitting diode (LED) and liquid crystal display (LCD) signs in and on the transit vehicle to present destination and route information. The content is derived from relevant standards, guidelines, and research literature identified during extensive government and commercial database searches, as well as a comprehensive search of world wide web resources.
