How much transit priority is actually happening in the U.S. and Canada?
Right now, it’s hard to tell. No one is tracking these programs across state and regional lines.
NACTO is changing that with a new transit priority inventory—and we need your help.

When planning a bike network, cities should also make a plan for clearing bike lanes in all weather conditions.
Design and policy decisions that prioritize regular bikeway clearing make it possible for people to bike year-round.

- Apply roundabout concepts
- Reduce speed and volume
- Identify appropriate intersection control
- Use crossbikes and crosswalks
