Public transit is an essential feature of sustainable mobility networks. Such systems contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and may prevent economically vulnerable people from having to own and maintain a vehicle, which is an unavoidable and draining investment for those in communities where there is limited, or no public transit. All modes of public transit must be an integral part of the planning process. To do so, the existing regional network must be considered, and public transit must be designed in conjunction with streets and paths in mind, while paying attention to local residents’ needs. This chapter outlines urban design strategies for well-integrated public transit networks.
