Live Webinar: Case Studies and Evolving Design Guidance for Bike/Bus Interaction

As jurisdictions implement new bicycle and transit infrastructure, the frequency of interactions between bus drivers and bicyclists is on the rise. This webinar will focus on guidance for designing facilities to best accommodate buses and bicycles in the public right-of-way. The webinar will describe the literature regarding best practices for multi-modal street designs and present case studies of various design solutions, including a before and after study of the effects of recent facility installations on the safety and comfort of cycling as well as the speed and reliability of transit service. Attendees will also learn from the presenters’ recent bus/bike facility experiences in California and Maryland.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about best practices for multi-modal street design.

• Identify and evaluate effective approaches to accommodating buses and bicycles in the public right-of-way.

• Understand the perspectives of infrastructure stakeholders, including municipal planning staff, bus operators, and cyclists.

• Understand the effects of transit and bicycle infrastructure on cycling safety and comfort and transit speed and reliability.
