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, this virtual session will provide an update on emerging trends and technologies for island platform bus stops along with lessons learned from Canada, the United States, and internationally.
The webinar, jointly presented by ITE Canada and CARSP, will feature a diverse panel of speakers from across Canada:
- Brian Patterson (Urban Systems)
- Dylan Passmore (Street Matters)
- Bartek Komorowski (City of Montreal)
- Lacey Hirtle (City of New Westminster)
- Troy McKay (District of Saanich)
- Katarina Stevovic (TransLink)
