Planning and designing a transit center based transit system

The purpose of this report is to examine the transit center concept to determine if and how it might be applied in American cities to provide more efficient and effective transit service on an areawide basis. Transit centers are interchange facilities that will be typically located in suburban areas at or near major activity centers and will serve as focal points for high levels of local, radial, and circumferential transit service. Bus/bus, bus/rail, and auto/rail transfers will occur there.
