02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Active Travel England (ATE), in collaboration with the Department for Transport (DfT), proposes a
comprehensive study to evaluate the appropriateness of various bus stop treatments - examining if,
when, and where each type is most suitable and indeed, if they are not suitable. A key objective is
to explore if, whether and how Floating Bus Stops (FBS) can be better designed to balance and
accommodate the requirements of all user groups.
This research will encompass a wide range of Floating Bus Stop configurations, including but not
limited to Bus Stop Bypasses (BSBs), Shared Use Bus Boarders (SUBBs), Backless bus stop bypasses and shared use bus stops. It will also investigate critical design variables that influence
safety, accessibility, and user experience.
As part of this study, in addition to in-depth data analysis, it is essential to undertake extensive
engagement and consultation with stakeholders. This will help ensure that the resulting guidance is
evidence-based, well-informed, and broadly supported. The aim is to support designers and
stakeholders with clear and practical advice on how to approach design of bus stops and cycle
infrastructure, addressing accessibility challenges and working to mitigate or eliminate barriers.
Ultimately, the study seeks to promote clarity and consistency in bus stop design across the country.
