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.
NACTO will preview the Transit Street Design Guide at the Designing Cities Conference in Austin on the 29th of October.
GDCI marks this World Children's Day with the release of two new booklets, “How to Engage Kids in Street Design” and “How to Evaluate Street Transformations Near Schools.”
In 2023, ten cities across four continents started designing their streets for kids. Collectively, the cohort reclaimed over 40,000 SqM of public space that prioritizes children and caregivers, engaged over 4,000 children in the process, and trained 140 practitioners.
Learn how street transformations designed for children can be scaled up and made permanent.
