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.
