Abstract:

Regardless of how a person began their trip; they walk, roll, or bicycle to access transit. Because of this, agencies should
understand pedestrian and bicyclist characteristics and needs when planning and designing transit systems. This guide is
intended for transit agencies, State and local roadway owners, and regional organizations involved with planning and
designing transit stops and the roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities that provide access to transit. The guide contains
wide ranging topics related to pedestrian and bicyclist safety and access to transit.
