Transit streets are great streets. With ridership booming, cities are transforming their streets to actively prioritize transit, creating more effective service and unlocking opportunities for world-class public space. This session will preview the forthcoming NACTO Transit Street Design Guide, a detailed resource developed by practitioners from city transportation departments and transit agencies across North America. Following an introduction to the principles of this new NACTO Guide, experts who contributed to the Guide’s development will present case studies from San Francisco, Chicago, and Houston.
About the Guide
NACTO will preview the Transit Street Design Guide at the Designing Cities Conference in Austin on the 29th of October.
