Treatments Used at Pedestrian Crossings of Public Transit Rail Services
TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Web-Only Document 63: Treatments Used at Pedestrian Crossings of Public Transit Rail Services presents methods and research activities that informed the development of
TCRP Report 175: Guidebook on Pedestrian Crossings of Public Transit Rail Services.
The research activities conducted to develop the Guidebook include conducting a
literature review, investigating online transit crash databases, performing an online survey of
practitioners, and conducting telephone interviews. The key research
activity was visiting several public transit rail services crossings within select regions. These
visits provided the opportunity to observe the challenges faced by pedestrians at public transit
rail services crossings and included observations made during three site visits to Boston,
Portland, and Los Angeles.
