Transit Signal Priority (TSP) has been proposed and implemented to reduce transit travel time, provide better schedule adherence, and improve transit efficiency. However, concerns have been raised about causing delays to cross street and left-turn movements. The cost-effective implementation of TSP requires methods to support the decisions associated with the implementation. The objective of this research was to examine the existing TSP guidance and propose enhanced planning-level guidelines for TSP deployment that can be applied to identify intersections where implementing TSP is beneficial. The proposed guidelines take consideration of bus delay, bus frequency, geometric and traffic feasibility, as well as the impacts on other movements. The effectiveness of the proposed guidelines was evaluated in comparison with existing guidelines using a microscopic simulation approach. The simulation results showed that the proposed TSP guidelines produce a better-balanced solution for minimizing both main street bus travel times and delays for other affected movements. The proposed guidelines also help to cut the TSP implementation costs by reducing the number of intersections identified for TSP implementation.
