• Abstract:
  Fixed route transit systems provide a valuable transportation service for many of our citizens. As users depend on ; bus transit to access to the essentials of life, maintaining transit service is a critical issue. Given the extent of ; nationwide bus transit systems and a high level of highway construction activities, it is common to find highway ; construction work areas encompassing and impacting established bus stop locations. However, there is little ; information available concerning best practices for safely managing the bus stop and transit riders while construction ; is underway. The objective of this study is to develop guidelines/recommendations for managing transit stops during ; adjacent highway construction operations, with a focus on safety and the customers. This guidance will serve as a ; planning tool and as a design and construction guide for Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) coordination for transit ; agencies, highway design engineers, and construction managers.
