The maximal rates that buses can discharge from bus stops are examined. Models were developed to estimate these capacities for curbside stops that are isolated from the effects of traffic signals. The estimates account for key features of the stops, including their target service levels assigned to them by a transit agency. Among other things, the models predict that adding bus berths to a stop...

Rising landfill costs have forced solid waste managers to consider waste streamreduction alternativessuch as household recycling. Explaining the factors which motivate households to recycle is important to regions where households must bear a large portion of the recycling cost because unit-based garbage disposal fees and curbside recycling are not feasible options.

Abstract One way to promote public transport use in cities lies establishing bus priority routes (BPRs) on main traffic arterials, reduce travel times. But, BPRs require infrastructure changes road layouts, creating more complex settings that may have safety implications. Previous research indicated design features affect BPRs' safety, but findings regarding the impacts of various BPR configura...
