项目名称：	Synthesis of Information Related to Transit Practices. Topic SA-54. Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety in Bus/BRT Corridors
摘要：	America's arterial corridors host a variety of users including passenger cars, trucks, buses, bicycles and pedestrians. Many of these corridors lack basic safety for pedestrians and cyclists such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and crosswalks. Unsafe corridors are inequitably prevalent in low-income communities and communities of color. Yet along these corridors, commerce, housing, transportation, and all manner of origins and destinations exist. A new bus transit corridor project involving a dedicated bus lane(s) is an opportunity to identify and improve dangerous or nonexistent pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, potentially improving the health and safety of transit users and community residents. This study will provide benefits to the transit industry by documenting how new bus transit project sponsors look to incorporate pedestrian/bike safety and complete streets within their transit improvement designs. The objective of this synthesis is to examine the state of practice in bus transit corridor planning, design and construction as it relates to pedestrian and bike safety, public health, and equity. The specific focus will be on dedicated bus lanes and their relationship to the issues of safety, public health and equity. The study will include the interaction of buses with bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles especially at bus stops, driveways and intersections.
