1 Transit Agency Relationships and Initiatives to Improve Bus Stops and Pedestrian Access Transit agencies with fixed-route bus service have a relationship with the built environment that provides access for riders to travel to the bus stop and wait comfortably for the bus to arrive. The quality of pedestrian pathways for reaching the bus stop and the amenities at the bus stop produce measurable differences in transit ridership and customer satisfaction with the transit agency.

Summary 3 examples of agreement types included master multiple use agreements with state DOTs and counties, funding for transit infrastructure or interlocal agreements with cities, and shelter match agreements with private businesses. • Within agreements, transit agencies usually hold responsibility for bus shelters and benches while partners take responsibility for improvements in sidewalks and pathways, crossings, and curb ramps.

4 Transit Agency Relationships and Initiatives to Improve Bus Stops and Pedestrian Access On the basis of this synthesis project, the study team determined that some future research needs, including the following, require further exploration if transit agencies are to fully implement and benefit from strong bus stop and pedestrian infrastructure improvement programs: • Further development of research is needed on the effects of improvement programs beyond fixed-route ridership for a full understanding of how programs can be beneficial at specified levels of investment and improvements. • Further research targeting examples of transit agency agreements with developers and the creation of model agreement practices or templates would be useful for simplifying the implementation of infrastructure improvements.
