Join us for an inspiring webinar on the transformative impact of the BRT Standard and the influence of its most recent 2024 edition. This webinar will spotlight two exemplary BRT corridors: Mexico City’s Line 1 – Insurgentes and San Francisco’s Van Ness BRT. In line with ITDP’s Year of the Bus, we will discuss the ways in which the BRT Standard motivated these cities to achieve higher performance and quality. This session will provide an overview of the BRT Standard’s fundamental components and explore the achievements and best practices from these cities. Participants will gain valuable insights into the planning, integration, and implementation of modern and effective BRT services aligned with global standards.
