Transit stops along bikeways must effectively manage several interactions between different street users to remain safe, efficient, and accessible, including interactions between:
- The transit vehicle and other traffic, including people on bikes and other motor vehicles;
- Boarding and alighting transit passengers and people on bikes;
- Boarding and alighting transit passengers and motor vehicles; and
- Boarding and alighting transit passengers and the transit vehicle.
The transit stop and platform environment will vary depending on contextual factors, including stop location along a block, orientation of station elements (e.g. accessible area, shelter), and mix of adjacent uses. All transit stops must prioritize pedestrian accessibility between the stop or platform and the sidewalk to provide a comfortable transition for all pedestrians, including those with visual or other physical disabilities.
