This report presents a practical process (referred to as a ‘tool’) to guide practitioners through the selection of the appropriate On-Road Public Transport (ORPT) priority treatments for any road scenario.
This step-by-step process can be used for applications relating to existing roads or a new/greenfield road development.
It considers all forms of priority, ranging from road space, stop design and location, traffic signal priority, and traffic signal gating.
Using this guidance, practitioners will ensure consistency, traceability, and robustness of their decision-making process.
This webinar, presented by David Green and Graham McCabe, provides an overview of the tool explaining how it was developed and how practitioners may use the tool in their day-to-day work.
