Description
Active modes of mobility are key to reaching transit, especially in auto-dominated environments. This is particularly true in under-served communities, as came into sharper focus during the pandemic. Explore the current status and need for safe, multi-modal connections to rapid transit — with national research and metrics, including origin and destination surveys, safety audits and lessons learned. Get the story from different cities about what it takes to deliver safe, comfortable and equitable access to transit, from planning, approvals and engagement, to funding, design, implementation and maintenance.
