Pedestrian Access Considerations at Transit Stations
Description | Our ability to move about and travel are essential to our quality of life. A healthy nation is dependent on a safe, efficient, and robust transportation system accessible to all citizens, regardless of their age or personal mobility capabilities. Fundamentally, bus and rail transit systems exist to provide riders with transportation options, whether a necessity or a choice.
With 35 years of experience as a civil engineer, including 25 years in transportation facility design and ten years as a full-time Forensic Engineer/Expert Witness in legal matters for plaintiffs and defendants, with over 50 appearances in local, state, and federal court in multiple states and jurisdictions as an expert witness, using his experience, John will take us through some of the more critical pedestrian accessibility issues and nuances at transit stations including walkway, parking, floor surface, platform and vehicle considerations.
Mr. Nawn will discuss various codes and standards and their application to the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, our riders, and constituents through our transit facilities and onto our transit vehicles, including applicable ASTM standards, the applicability of the International Building Code, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, OSHA Regulations and Federal Transit Administration Standards, ANSI and the National Safety Council.
Objective | At the end of this webinar, attendees will understand and share best practices and actions to improve pedestrian safety for those accessing transit.
