    Chapter 4: Actions to Increase the Safety of Pedestrians Accessing Transit
    
  
  
      Understanding pedestrian characteristics and facilities (e.g., sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, etc.) is an important step in providing safe access to transit systems. This section introduces basic pedestrian safety concepts to help readers understand issues, solutions, and resources that are presented in other parts of this guide. Concepts addressed in this chapter include:
    Chapter 3: Actions to Increase the Safety of Pedestrians Accessing Transit
    
  
  
      There are a variety of actions that can be implemented by transit agencies and their partner organizations to improve safety for pedestrians traveling to transit. These actions include engineering (physical infrastructure), education, and enforcement efforts. The most successful strategies often involve a combination of these treatments.***Good pedestrian design should account for the needs of all potential users, including those with physical or mental limitations.***

      This photo shows people boarding a bus.Transit agencies play an important role in improving the safety of pedestrians. Providing safe and comfortable routes to and from transit improves the passenger experience and helps transit agencies maximize ridership and customer satisfaction.
    Chapter 1: Tools for Identifying Pedestrian Safety and Access Issues
    
  
  
      This chapter provides tools including bus stop audit checklists, pedestrian catchment area facility inventories, pedestrian questionnaires, pedestrian behavior observation surveys, and pedestrian crash analyses to help agencies identify specific pedestrian safety issues that affect their customers.While the tools in this chapter are presented for use by transit agencies, they can also be beneficial for other transit agency partners, such as:
