Abstract
As use of and demand for public transportation grows, it is more important than ever to consider how safety and efficiency of operations can be improved by transit-conscious design. In this session we will discuss the needs of transit riders (who are also pedestrians and bicyclists), the challenges faced by public transportation operators, and examples that demonstrate sound practices for design improvement.
