Title:
MARKET-BASED APPROACH TO TRANSIT FACILITY DESIGN
Accession Number:
00602755
Abstract:
An overview of guidelines is developed for the planning and design of transit stations, stops, and terminals. These guidelines have been prepared from a market-based point of view. Key concepts for the design of facilities are directly related to promoting the success of development activities and transit services. The underlying philosophy of these concepts provides that transit services and facilities should be designed from a market-based viewpoint. The market--the people and activities that transit serves--is the major determinant of success for transit and private, commercial activities developed jointly with transit. Quality design will create use both for transit and developments with a benefit both for public and private activities. General development policies are discussed and a summary of design guidelines is provided for various transit station types through a range of design phases.
