Lane Gain: Designing, marketing, and delivering increased throughput through transit-only lanes

3 CM / LU Pending

Many cities have established that shifting general purpose lanes to transit priority or transit dedicated lanes is crucial to moving people efficiently. However logical, the optics of removing a lane for automobiles is at best, a slow and technically challenging process and at worst, a toxic political no-go. This workshop will uncover common themes and creative ways to overcome serious challenges through a range of case stories: success stories and struggling projects. We will also explore how this dynamic will shift with autonomous-only lanes and debate the pros and cons of shared stops and lane space for public and private providers.
