Description
The Transit Street Design Guide provides a comprehensive introduction to designing streets for high-quality transit. By prioritizing public transportation, cities can create more compact, sustainable, and healthy environments. This guide presents a new set of core principles, street typologies, and design strategies that shift the paradigm for streets from mere accommodation to active prioritization of great transit. Drawing on expertise from across North America, the guide offers detailed information on comprehensive transit street design, lane design and materials, stations and stops, intersection strategies, and city transit networks. It also provides performance measures and outlines how to make the case for great transit street design in cities. By allocating scarce space to transit, streets can greatly expand their capacity to move people. This guide is built on simple math: by prioritizing public transportation, cities can create more efficient and effective urban environments.
