Subsections:

Stop Elements
Transit stops exist on a continuum, from minimal sign-and-pole stops to fully enclosed stations. While financial constraints often limit the provision of stop elements on existing routes, investing in high-quality stops can change both the perception and reality of transit

Small Transit Shelter
The provision of shelters should be prioritized with the goal of improving comfort for the most passengers. Basic shelters are ideal for the passenger volumes and context of a neighborhood transit street.

Read More

Large Transit Shelter
Larger shelters with signature design features like easy-to-understand information, enhanced seating or waiting areas, or landscaping elements improve perceived wait times and general passenger satisfaction.

Read More

Seating
Providing comfortable seating at or near transit stops dramatically improves the comfort of the passenger experience. Comfortable seating can provide valuable resting places whether or not a transit trip is involved.

Fare Vending
Stop or station ticket machines allow riders to purchase single fares, add value to fare cards, or generate proof-of-payment (PoP) tickets from passes, which may coincide with all-door boarding strategies.

Passenger Information & Wayfinding
Providing clear and simple information like route and system maps, schedules, expected travel times, real-time arrival times, and ridership procedures makes the system more attractive and simpler to use, and improves rider satisfaction.

Transit Curbs
Designing a curb with transit vehicles in mind can allow vehicles to pull close to the platform and to “dock,” reducing the gap between the vehicle and the platform, and helping to facilitate level or near-level boarding.

Bus Pads
Bus pads are highly durable areas of the roadway surface at bus stops, usually constructed in concrete, addressing the common issue of asphalt distortion at bus stops.

Read More

Green Infrastructure
Incorporating green infrastructure into transit street design can improve water quality, detain stormwater flows, reduce the volume of stormwater runoff, and relieve burden on municipal water treatment systems.

Read More

Bike Parking
Bike parking elements can expand transit sheds, enhancing access to stop-adjacent destinations, and boosting intermodal connectivity.

Read More

Passenger Queue Management
Managed boarding procedures can reduce interference and conflict with pedestrian movement adjacent to the transit stop, and make the boarding process itself more efficient.
