Key Principles
A new set of principles to for designing streets that support, prioritize, and enable transit to be a powerful tool for access, mobility, and place-making.

Why Transit Streets Matter
High-quality transit allows a city to grow without slowing down. Transit that can be relied on makes it possible to build walkable urban places—the kinds of places that city residents increasingly demand.

Designing to Move People
Traditional volume measures fail to account for all the functions of urban streets, as well as the social, cultural, and economic activities served by transit, walking, and bicycling. Shifting trips to more efficient travel modes is essential to upgrading limited

Reliability Matters
For urban transit, getting to a destination faster means removing sources of delay rather than raising top travel speeds. The most significant sources of delay are related to both design and operations, calling for coordinated action by transit and street

While street design practice has historically focused on motor vehicle movement and has treated transit capacity as primarily influenced by stop design, street design processes are increasingly recognizing that key transit lines need and justify greater accommodation than lower-ridership routes.

Transit Route Types
Robust evidence-based service planning using realistic data can identify new service and growth opportunities, especially opportunities to add rapid routes. These can be supported by street design to create broader transit benefits.

Transit Frequency & Volume
Street design has an interactive effect on transit frequency, both supporting transit at different volumes, and attracting passengers to different degrees.
