Abstract:This report summarizes the results of a national survey of state DOTs and local transit agencies concerning current practice in the planning, design and operation of transit-related street improvements. The summary of current practices is divided into four subsections: 1) Bus service planning guidelines; 2) Bus facility design guidelines; 3) Bus service operating considerations; and 4) Light rail transit (LRT) services. The results of the study indicate that basic practices do not differ substantially between the agencies surveyed, though differences were found in the level of detail contained in the various guidelines. The survey results also suggest that the need for improved coordination and cooperation between transit and highway agencies is a major concern of local transit service providers. Subsequent phases of this study will focus on developing transit-related guidelines which can be incorporated into the state's roadway planning and design manuals.
