NACTO Design Guide Training
Designing Streets for Transit

Great cities need great transit systems, and great transit needs better streets.

For cities and regions to grow sustainably and foster equitable access for all residents, unlocking streets for transit is key to providing reliable and efficient movement. Join us for a one-day training workshop on street design tools and strategies to support more effective transit systems, and facilitate safe movement for all users of an urban street. Learn the state of the practice from NACTO's Transit Street Design Guide, and apply those lessons during an interactive and energizing program.

Register to join us for a one-day Designing Streets for Transit Workshop on Tuesday, January 29, 2019, to be held at J. Erik Jonsson Central Public Library in Dallas, or Wednesday, January 30, 2019, to be held at NCTCOG. The National Association of City Transportation Officials will host these Transit Guide Design Workshops.

Training Modules:

Transit Street Design: Transit Lanes & Transitways; and Priority at Intersections
Transit-Supportive Systems: Stations & Stops; and Aligning with Streets
Case Studies from cities across North America

Apply these lessons to a hands-on design charrette to a corridor in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

Date: January 29 or January 30, 2019

(Note: The same material will be presented at both workshops.)

Time: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Sign-in begins at 8:00 am. Lunch is provided.
