Guide for geometric design of transit facilities on highways and streets. by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.;
Includes bibliographical references.Chapter 1. Introduction -- ch. 2. Planning and decision-making -- ch. 3. Design parameters and controls -- ch. 4. Bus facilities on limited access highways -- ch. 5. Guidelines for bus facilities on streets and roadways -- ch. 6. Light rail and streetcar facilities on streets and highways -- ch. 7. Pedestrian and bicycle access -- Appendix C. Bus vehicle characteristics -- app. D. Busways -- app. E. Off-line transit facilities.This guide provides a comprehensive reference of current practice in the geometric design of transit facilities on streets and highways, including local buses, express buses, and bus rapid transit operating in mixed traffic, bus lanes, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes, as well as bus-only roads within street and freeway environments. It also covers streetcars and LRT running in mixed traffic and transit lanes, and within medians along arterial roadways. These guidelines are based on a review of relevant AASHTO, TRB, and ITE documents, as well as design reports provided by various transit agencies. They are designed for use by public agencies, practitioners, and developers in need of basic information about planning, locating, sizing, designing, and implementing transit facilities along roadways.

Human transit : how clearer thinking about public transit can enrich our communities and our lives / by Walker, Jarrett,1962-author.(CARDINAL)894360; Houser, PJ,illustrator.; Orozco, Eric,illustrator.; Walsh, Erin,illustrator.(CARDINAL)552531; Twu, Alfred,illustrator.; Howard, Daniel,illustrator.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-264) and index (pages 265-274).Introduction -- What transit is and does -- What makes transit useful? : seven demands and how transit serves them -- The wall around your life : access to opportunity -- A bunch of random strangers : planning for diversity -- Lines, loops, and longing -- Touching the city : stops and stations -- Peak or all day? -- Frequency is freedom -- The obstacle course : speed, delay, and reliability -- Ridership or coverage? : the challenge of allocating service -- Can fares be fair? -- Connections of complexity? -- From connections to networks to places -- Network design and redesign -- Be on the way! : moral implications of location choice -- On the boulevard -- Take the long view -- Epilogue : geometry, choices, freedom.Transportation expert Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple, if we focus on the underlying geometry that all transit systems share. In Human Transit, Revised Edition, he provides the basic tools and critical questions needed to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing services, refreshed with updated information and examples. The first edition of Human Transit, published in 2011, has become a classic for professionals, advocates, and interested citizens. No other book explains the basic principles of public transit in such lively and accessible prose, all based on a respect for your right to form your own opinion. Walker's goal is not to make you share his values, but to give you the tools to clarify and advocate for yours. Walker has updated and expanded the book to deepen its explanations. His ongoing work as a network planning consultant has provided a wealth of new examples, images, and tools. New topics include the problem with specialization; the role of flexible or "demand response" services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete. Finally, he has also added a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transit's success. Whether you are a professional or a concerned citizen, the revised edition of this accessible guide can help you to achieve successful public transit that will enrich any community.

Between public and private mobility : examining the rise of technology-enabled transportation services / by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Transportation Research Board,author.(CARDINAL)337261(CARDINAL)346225; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287;
Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Trends and context -- Taxis, regulation, and the rise of transportation network companies -- An economic framework for regulation of shared mobility services -- Labor and employment issues -- Personal security and public safety -- Insurance -- Equity and access -- Conclusions and recommendations -- Online appendixes -- Study Committee biographical information."TRB Special Report 319 analyzes the ways that innovative transportation services--including ridesharing, carsharing, bikesharing, and microtransit--are changing mobility for millions of travelers. Such services could reduce congestion and emissions from surface transportation if regulated wisely to encourage concurrent, instead of sequential, ridesharing. Rapidly growing transportation network companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft, however, are disrupting conventional taxi and limousine services and are raising policy challenges related to personal security and public safety, insurance requirements, employment and labor issues, and accessibility and equity. The committee's report offers guidance to state and local officials responsible for policy setting and regulation of for-hire transportation services in each of these areas. The report also addresses the need for greater consistency in regulations across jurisdictions and calls for TNCs to share more information about the volume, the frequency, and the types of trips they are providing, to allow for informed regulation and planning of transportation services"--provided by publisher.
