Public transit may be the safest form of transportation, but for many people, the first and last leg of their journey to and from the train or bus is a hazardous one. Improving Active Transportation and Public Transit Integration – A Guidebook for Policy and Planning highlights the challenges of walking and cycling to transit and offer solutions based on international best practice.
The guide includes case studies of North American jurisdictions that maximize opportunities for access to transit by active modes of travel, profiles the potential for transit projects to serve as Complete Street projects, and includes audit tools that community members can use to evaluate current conditions for walking or cycling to their transit stop or station.
