The design of island platform bus stops has continued to evolve across Canada and internationally as practitioners advance their understanding of accessibility needs within a North American context, with treatments such as on-board announcements, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), bicycle signals, tactile wayfinding, and other technologies being explored in various jurisdictions.
In response to popular demand following our webinar in 2024 on the topic, a webinar hosted on September 25, 2025 provided an update on emerging trends and technologies for island platform bus stops along with lessons learned from Canada, the United States, and internationally.
Jointly presented by ITE Canada and CARSP, the webinar featured a diverse panel of speakers from across Canada.
