Toolkit for the Assessment of Bus Stop Accessibility and Safety

This toolkit is primarily targeted toward transit agency staff and public works departments who are responsible for bus stop design and placement. The toolkit is intended to be a convenient resource that can be used to enhance the accessibility of specific bus stops or help in the development of a strategic plan to achieve system-wide accessibility. Disability community representatives should also find materials in these pages that can be used to advocate for accessibility improvements and barrier removal.

This tool will help achieve the goal of the following objectives

  • Less Contamination
  • Less Emissions
  • Less Traffic Noise
  • Connectivity and Inclusion
  • Healthy Destinations
  • Less Traffic Violence
  • Active Transportation
  • Green Space

Estimation Technique

The Toolkit for Bus Stop Safety aims to enhance the accessibility of specific bus stops by providing information and resources that can be used to improve safety and security. The toolkit includes a variety of resources, such as checklists, guides, and templates, that can be used to assess the safety and security of a bus stop. Additionally, the toolkit provides information on how to implement specific safety measures, such as lighting and signage, at a bus stop. By using the resources provided in the toolkit, communities can create safe and accessible bus stops that meet the needs of all riders.
