Abstract

TCRP Report 151: A Guide for Implementing Bus On Shoulder (BOS) Systems provides guidelines for the planning, design, and implementation of BOS operations along urban freeways and major arterials. Making BOS a reality requires a closely coordinated partnership effort involving transit agencies, state departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), enforcement agencies, and FHWA. The report should be useful as a decision-making guide to assist transit operators, state DOTs, MPOs, and other stakeholders in assessing the feasibility of the BOS concept, developing safe and effective BOS plans, implementing initial BOS operations, and maintaining or expanding ongoing BOS operations.
