Our friends at Topeka Metro are working on the 'Transit Supportive Principles Design Manual' - a new asset that will illustrate the best practices and create a toolkit to guide model development regulations that could be implemented along existing transit corridors. This toolkit is expected to illustrate ways to help shape public and private development to ensure bus service is a more viable mobility partner in Topeka's balanced transportation system.

Whether you are a bus rider or not your input is incredible helpful in the development of projects like this! Please help by taking a short online survey so we have the most relevant information to our community.
