Light Rail Transit Planning and Design (book)

"Light Rail Transit Planning and Design" is a comprehensive guide that explains how to develop efficient, safe, and sustainable light rail systems—shorter trains that run on tracks within urban areas. It covers steps such as assessing community needs, choosing routes, designing stations, and considering factors like safety, accessibility, and environmental impact. The book integrates technical principles with practical considerations, helping planners and engineers create transit solutions that improve mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and support urban growth. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex process of bringing light rail projects from concept to operation.
