Description

TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 153: Guidelines for Providing Access to Public Transportation Stations is intended to aid in the planning, developing, and improving of access to high capacity commuter rail, heavy rail, light rail, bus rapid transit, and ferry stations. The report includes guidelines for arranging and integrating various station design elements.

The print version of TCRP Report 153 is accompanied by a CD-ROM that includes a station access planning spreadsheet tool that allows trade-off analyses among the various access modes--automobile, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit-oriented development--for different station types. The appendices to TCRP Report 153 are also available on the CD-ROM.

The items contained in the CD-ROM are also available for download below.

  • Access Planning Spreadsheet Tool
  • Appendix A: Summary of Stakeholder Survey and Literature Review
  • Appendix B: Overview of Existing Analysis and Evaluation Tools
  • Appendix C: Spreadsheet-Based Access Tool and Instructions
  • Appendix D: Detailed Station-Level Access Data
  • Appendix E: Detailed Station Access Case Studies
    In 2009 TRB released TCRP Web-Only Document 44: Literature Review for Providing Access to Public Transportation Stations, which describes the results of the literature review associated with the project that developed TCRP Report 153.
