Great cities rely on great transit, and great transit needs great streets.
NACTO’s peer networks, design guidance, and policy guidance are helping member cities and transit agencies transform their streets and prioritize transit riders. Members are implementing bus lanes and boarding islands, addressing operational barriers to riding, and reimagining fare payment and boarding procedures to move people in less time.
From buses to light rail, cities of all sizes can harness the immense potential of transit to create active and efficient streets in neighborhoods and downtowns alike. They’re working to create streets that not only keep transit moving but are also great places to be. NACTO’s design and policy expertise helps cities transform car-centric streets into transit streets that work better for everyone.
