Monograph

This issue contains 14 papers on the passenger rail and terminal aspects of public transportation. Specific topics addressed in this issue include the following: bicycle sharing; transit-bicycle integration; walking access to transit stations; platform-train interface safety; train service costs; long-term upgrade strategy for light rail and regional rail; regenerative energy receptivity in metro transit systems; and modern-era streetcars. Additional topics covered in this issue include moving-block signaling; unattended train operations; shuttle connections to commuter rail; the Safe Routes to Transit program in California; passenger behavior in nonpayment areas at rail stations; and rapid transit park-and-ride facilities.
