Functionality, Innovation and Mobility: Improving quality of life for individuals
JCDecaux improves life in cities and airports worldwide with bus shelters, newsstands, self-cleaning public toilets, international bike programs, airport charging stations, and digital networks. Our solutions are designed to enhance accessibility while creating cleaner, more connected public spaces.
We also help cities and airports run more efficiently with solar-powered compacting bins, IoT-enabled devices, and real-time transit displays that streamline mobility and communication.
Our automated public toilets are engineered for reliability, efficiency, and accessibility in high-traffic urban environments. Each unit features self-cleaning cycles, water and energy management systems, and full ADA compliance to ensure safety and inclusivity. Supported by dedicated maintenance teams, these facilities deliver consistent performance while reducing the operational burden on city services.
Public Messaging Network
DELIVERING PUBLIC MESSAGES,
when and where they matter.
Our networks deliver timely and impactful communication through a range of platforms. Digital screens in shelters and kiosks provide real-time updates and emergency alerts, while airport and transit networks amplify city and community messages to millions of travelers each day. These networks also support nonprofit and government partners by offering dedicated space for public service campaigns that inform, engage, and connect communities.

The infrastructure includes 25 public toilets that exceed ADA standards, supported by full-time operations and staffed by local union labor including a bathroom attendant, managed by nonprofit organizations and funded by JCDecaux.
Additionally, our 17 ft tall kiosks incorporate wayfinding features, small cell/5G technology, and artist-run retail spaces.
