摘要

The MAX bus rapid transit (BRT) line began operations June 30, 2004, in the northeast Las Vegas valley. Ridership remains strong, demonstrating BRT's viability for the Las Vegas metro area. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) sought better coordination of successful BRT systems by improved integration of pedestrian, land use, and transit components. This effort generated the "BRT Station" concept, which examines BRT transit stops from the pedestrian perspective. In the pedestrian realm, BRT and fixed-route stops, adjacent land use, and auto-oriented transportation infrastructure within an intersection are considered elements of the BRT Station. Currently, pedestrians cross Las Vegas Boulevard using the shortest path to reach their destinations. From the pedestrian perspective, this is appropriate and must be accommodated through the BRT Station. The BRT operates in a dedicated shoulder lane, which is proposed to be curbing separated with the BRT Station concept. The combination of transit way medians on both sides of the roadway and the median pedestrian crossing provides a safe mid-block pedestrian crossing that highlights the transit stop and conveys the presence of pedestrians to motorists. Way-finding and positive guidance, at a pedestrian scale, delineate and brand the BRT Station. Branding is important for enlisting adjacent land uses; landscaping and hardscaping are introduced for positive vehicle speed control. The BRT Station concept will be realized on a station district by station district basis in conjunction with recommended neighborhood planning and context-sensitive solutions (CSS) principles. When each BRT Station community generates its individual transit identity, Las Vegas Boulevard North will realize its true potential as a genuine transit corridor.
