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.

GDCI and the Bloomberg Initiative for Global Road Safety: A 6-year Status Update
GDCI has been proud to lead and support the design, delivery, and evaluation of safe street infrastructure across 16 cities in 10 countries as a Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS) Partner. We look back at the last six years of achievements.
In the heart of Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, where speeding vehicles and pedestrian movement intertwine daily, SK Danau Kota 2 has become the focal point of a transformative initiative aimed to make school streets safer for students to walk and cycle. This project was backed by the Bloomberg Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), a program that has committed to address rising concerns over road traffic deaths and support road safety interventions in cities worldwide.
