Implementation of Zürich's Transit Priority Program

This study discusses transit priority techniques that have been implemented in Zurich, Switzerland, first by giving an overview of Zurich and the history of its transit priority program, followed by a discussion of its current program and its related challenges and benefits. The study then discusses two complementary transportation programs and their impact on the transit priority program. The issue of public support transit improvements and how it impacts the implementation of transit priority programs is discussed. The study then looks at the implementation lessons learned from Zurich and how these insights can be of value to other cities with similar interests.
