From a humble streetside bus stop to Grand Central Station, transit stops, stations, and terminals bring together passengers along with other people who happen to be using the same sidewalk or there to pick up lunch. Ideally, any kind of station is designed to meet the volume demanded, whether or not the people are passengers, while also considering access for persons with disabilities, evacuation routes, amenities, and daily safety concerns. With people coming and going to meet different needs, congestion can develop around stairways, escalators, and corridors, even when other areas of the station operate normally. When you're planning for or renovating any kind of stop, station, or terminal, consider ways address to these issues while allowing for future growth.
Find researched methodologies for evaluating passenger circulation, addressing capacity issues, and accounting for short periods of peak passenger demand in TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program's updated TCRP Research Report 262: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 4th edition.

The Federal Aviation Administration categorizes approximately 4,000 airports around the country as small, and 90 percent of the U.S. population lives within a 30-minute drive of one of them. In the latest issue of TR News, Rose Agnew and Christina Coverdell draw on ACRP Synthesis 121: Managing a Flight Diversion with an Emergency Response at Small, Non-Hub, or General Aviation Airports to explore the critical role small airports play in managing emergencies and keeping air travel on track.
