[WEBINAR] Guidance on Floating Bus Stops

UPDATE: This webinar is now sold out. If you weren’t able to register, we encourage you to learn more about the project in this article.

Join us on October 8, 2024 to hear about TransLink and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s award-winning Design Guide for Bus Stops Adjacent to Cycling Infrastructure. This webinar, jointly presented by ITE Canada and CARSP, will feature Brian Patterson (Urban Systems), Mo Bot (City of North Vancouver), and Suzanne Therrien (City of Kelowna) sharing an overview of the Design Guide plus lessons learned from extensive stakeholder engagement and pilot projects.

The Design Guide provides a comprehensive set of planning and engineering guidelines offering solutions for the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of bus stops adjacent to protected cycling infrastructure in a range of contexts and applications throughout British Columbia, along with guidance for education and engagement.

This Guide is the first of its kind in North America and addresses a significant gap in knowledge on how to design bus stops to meet the needs of people with disabilities while also being comfortable for cyclists of all ages and abilities. It was awarded both the ITE Canada Stan Teply Outstanding Technical Project Award and the ITE International Transportation Achievement Award – Planning Award in 2024.
