The Transit Site

An enormous opportunity exists to increase ridership by designing a more engaging, more responsive and more human-centric outdoor transit experience. While public transportation will always be about moving people, emerging transit models are inspiring broadened concepts with meaningful new propositions. Intuitively, we know that the use of public transportation can reduce traffic, lessen commute times and decrease emissions, but the benefits go far deeper.

Designing for an expanded view of public transit and all the ways it connects people to their communities can have vast positive economic, environmental, and social implications. To support this paradigm shift, Landscape Forms provides strategies and tools to create more holistic, well-designed transit ecosystems that can significantly enrich the living and working conditions of daily life.
