Improving Transit Stop/Station Access
Riders need safe and convenient routes to get to and from
transit. Riders will typically walk one-fourth to one-half mile (about a 5 to
10-minute walk for most people) to and from transit. Riders typically walk to a
transit stop, board the bus or train, get off, and then walk to their final
destination. This the riders' needs as pedestrians extend beyond the bus stop to
and from the surrounding neighborhood.
