Transit Studies
Make transit easier to reach—and easier to use.
Public transit improves mobility, reduces congestion, and supports sustainable growth. DeShazo conducts Transit Studies to evaluate how developments, communities, and cities can better integrate service and expand access to reliable transit.
Proven Experience
We’ve prepared transit studies for schools, mixed-use developments, and regional planning agencies, tailoring recommendations to each project’s scale and context. Our work balances operational efficiency with the community’s mobility needs.
Integrating rail, bus, and first/last-mile connections for complete trips.
What we do
- Ridership forecasting: estimate demand for bus, rail, and shuttle services using land-use and population growth.
- Route & service planning: analyze and recommend routes, stop spacing, and scheduling to maximize coverage and reliability.
- First/last-mile connections: improve pedestrian, bicycle, and micromobility access to stops and stations.
- Infrastructure needs: evaluate bus bays, shelters, signage, lighting, and ADA-compliant facilities.
- Agency coordination: work with transit providers, municipalities, and developers to align with local and regional goals.
Service design plus the infrastructure that makes it dependable.
Why it matters
- Improves accessibility for residents, employees, and visitors.
- Reduces congestion & emissions by promoting attractive alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles.
- Supports development by aligning transit access with new housing, retail, and job centers.
Better access, lower emissions, and stronger economic connections.
