The purpose of this report is to develop criteria to identify potential locations for where bus pullouts could be located on county roads within Camden County. The DVRPC Congestion Management Process (CMP), New Jersey DOT design standards, and local data (county road inventory, crash history and current bus operations) assisted in the development of the Plan. This document will provide guidance for New Jersey Transit and Camden County officials and will enable local planning and engineering agencies to consider the necessary provisions to accommodate bus pullouts in future development and capital projects. Bus pullouts (also referred to as bus turnouts) are designated areas which allow transit buses to pull in and out of the main travel lane to pick up and discharge passengers at bus stop locations. The purpose of the pullout is to avoid blocking a lane of traffic and to improve passenger safety during the boarding and disembarking of transit passengers. Bus pullouts are provided primarily on high-volume and/or high speed roadways. In New Jersey, bus pullouts are commonly placed along the state highway system and in areas where there are a high number of passengers boarding such as large shopping centers and transit transfer centers.Geographic Area Covered: The study area for this analysis covers Camden County, New Jersey
Key Words: Bus pullout, New Jersey Transit, Camden County, county routes, transit, bus passengers, bus crashes, Yield to Bus Law, New Jersey DOT, CMP, transit strategies
