High-quality bus rapid transit (BRT) is not only about designing bus stops and stations that make access easier and more efficient. It is also about pedestrian and bicyclist accommodations along the bus routes. In some places, BRT systems are safer than other bus services, but this is not always the case. Specific design elements to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety are almost always decided on a case-by-case basis, and transit agencies and partners rely on an array of design guidance to consider when making decisions about BRT route design.

The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Synthesis 169: Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety in Bus Rapid Transit and High-Priority Bus Corridors documents practices in BRT/high-priority bus transit corridor planning, design, and construction, with a focus on pedestrian and bicycle safety.
