Design and Implementation of Transit Services

Résumé du livre

"Transit plays an essential role in improving the social, economic, and environmental conditions of Canada's cities and communities. While there is greater political attention to serving transit needs in larger urban areas, transit services are increasingly vital to improving the well-being of small communities. Providing transit services will become increasingly important in small communities as a result of an increasing aging population, the continued transition to a knowledge economy, the increasing cost of vehicle ownership, and the increasing environmental impacts from atmospheric pollutants. There are unique challenges faced by small and rural Canadian communities in providing transit services, compared to large, more urban areas. The approaches to planning for transit and the range of solutions appropriate for providing transit is broader for small communities compared to larger urban centres."--
