About the Webinar
This is the fifth installment of the BRT Planning Guide webinar series. A key component of BRT planning and design is the provision of convenient and secure access for pedestrians and cyclists. This webinar will explore the fundamentals of designing non-motorized transport access, including pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, universal access, cycle tracks, and cycle parking, drawing on case studies from BRT systems around the world.
