Notes: ISBN Number: 1-56051-295-4 “This guide suggests methods and designs for dedicated facilities to encourage greater use of existing transportation systems, such as increased use of public transit (primarily buses), carpools, vanpools, or other ridesharing modes to help attain the above goals. Guidance is given for planning and design of preferential treatment for high-occupancy vehicles “ (AASHTO, 2006).

 

 

AASHTO. Guide for Park-and-Ride Facilities, 2nd Edition. 2004

This publication may be ordered online at: https://bookstore.transportation.org/item_details.aspx?ID=121

Notes: ISBN Number: 1-56051-294-6 “Information presented in this guide is intended to provide a general knowledge of the park-and-ride planning and design process. Applicable local ordinances, design requirements, and building codes must be consulted for their affect on the planning and design process. Local data resources, development patterns, and transit networks may present unique opportunities for park-and-ride implementation, and should be explored.

Chapter content includes: Defining the Park-and-Ride System, Park-and-Ride Planning Process, Operations and Maintenance of Park-and-Ride Facilities, Design Considerations for Park-and-Ride Facilities, and Architecture, Landscape, and Art: Integral Parts of the Park-and-Ride Facility” (AASHTO, 2006).

This publication may be ordered online at: https://bookstore.transportation.org/item_details.aspx?ID=157

Notes: “[This publication] addresses the unique design issues highway designers and engineers face when determining appropriate cost-effective geometric design policies for very low-volume local roads. This approach covers both new and existing construction projects. Because geometric design guidance for very low-volume local roads differs from the policies applied to high-volume roads, these guidelines may be used in lieu of A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, also known as the Green Book” (AASHTO, 2006).
