The purpose of this handbook is to provide guidance to state and local governments and transit agencies in the design, location, and installation of transit facilities consistent with state and federal laws, regulations, and best practices. The FDOT Public Transit Office initially prepared and published Version I of the handbook in 2004, and the last update was published as Version II in 2008. The purpose of this update is to identify and incorporate new and revised federal and state standards, criteria, and guidelines as well as best practices relating to the design and implementation of transit facilities along roadways in Florida. In addition, the new update incorporates guidance and materials from national and FDOT District transit design guidelines to ensure statewide consistency.
