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.

Elevator and escalator maintenance and safety practices / by Schiavone, John J.(CARDINAL)310387; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287; Transit Cooperative Research Program.(CARDINAL)307612; United States.Federal Transit Administration.(CARDINAL)217229; Transit Development Corporation.(CARDINAL)307611;
Research sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration in cooperation with the Transit Development Corporation"The purpose of this synthesis is to document highly specialized elevator/escalator (El/Es) maintenance, safety practices, and passenger communication efforts at five U.S. transit agencies: MARTA (Atlanta, Georgia), NYCTA (New York City), SEPTA (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), CTA (Chicago, Illinois), and BART (San Francisco, California) ...Together, they are part of an FTA-sponsored consortium with APTA, Amalgamated Transit Union, and the Learning Center, engaged in developing a Transit Elevator/Escalator Maintenance Training and Apprenticeship Program. The Topic Panel directed the consultant to survey and conduct in-depth telephone interviews with these transit agencies' staff to provide a comprehensive look at how representative agencies provide EI/Es services, the specific challenges they face in doing so, and the steps taken to provide safe and reliable access to all their customers and, particularly, the disabled community."--Preface.

Grand Central [videorecording] / by Epstein, Michael.ausprd; Morton, Joe,1947-nrt(CARDINAL)295710; PBS Home Video.(CARDINAL)218235; Viewfinder Productions.; WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.)(CARDINAL)154259; WGBH Educational Foundation.(CARDINAL)132712;
Director of photography, Michael Chin ; editor, Kris Liem ; music, Joel Goodman ; visual effects director, Tim D'Amico.Narrated by Joe Morton.On February 1, 1913, more than 150,000 people eagerly rushed to Grand Central Terminal to gaze at New York City's newest landmark. The new Beaux Arts structure on 42nd street housed an underground electric train station that would revolutionize the way people traveled and transform midtown Manhattan. By 1947, over sixty-five million people, the equivalent of forty percent of the population of the United States, had traveled through the station.Not rated.DVD, region 1, widescreen (16:9, enhanced) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.

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.
