TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SKILLS THAT CAN BENEFIT TRANSIT SYSTEMS SESSION 17

Transit systems can benefit from increased traffic engineering skills--both among the ranks of professionals working with transit systems and among those who work with transit-related issues in other capacities. A better understanding of traffic engineering principles on the part of transit professionals could potentially improve both transit operations and planning. Similarly, transit systems could benefit from an increased sensitivity on the part of traffic engineers to transit consideration of "people" flow and acknowledgement of transit marketing issues.
