Center for Urban Transportation Research (USA) – DESIGNING PRINTED TRANSIT INFORMATION MATERIALS 2008

Description

Published in January 2008 by the National Center for Transit Research at the University of South Florida, with funding from the Florida Department of Transportation and USDOT RITA, this comprehensive guidebook offers over 30 pages of best practices for designing printed transit information materials. Specifically tailored for transit service providers of fixed-route bus services, it provides a synthesis of design guidelines and successful industry examples, richly illustrated with numerous full-color sample maps, schedules, and frequency tables. Developed with input from a diverse peer panel of transit professionals and consultants, the document serves as a highly trustworthy compilation of recommendations, rather than a prescriptive manual. This invaluable resource helps agencies create user-friendly, accurate, and independent printed materials that enhance customer comprehension and trip planning.
