TRANSIT PLANNING & OPERATIONS

Transit planning requires more than expertise in transit planning and operations. Fehr & Peers' experience in all modes of transportation allows us to bring a unique perspective to transit projects. We understand that, in order for transit to be effective, it must be closely integrated with other critical elements including land use, the roadway system, and the adjacent network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Fehr & Peers possesses specialized expertise in a wide range of transit-related areas including:

• Transit Station Planning - developing plans to ensure the safe and efficient interface between all travel modes and transit stations.

• Transit Signal Priority Systems - applying innovative techniques to maximize the efficiency of the transit services.

• Direct Ridership Forecasting - estimating the patronage of new and expanded transit services using the latest techniques of direct ridership models (see examples at right).

• Multi-modal Interactions - evaluating the operational and safety-related aspects of the interface between all travel modes.

• Visual Simulation - using the latest traffic operations software to help clients visualize the expected outcomes using 3D animation.
