Abstract Nearly every transit trip begins or ends on foot or on a bike. Across the country, most local bus passengers walk to the bus stop. Passengers have been walking to the busy rail systems in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago for a century. Even rail networks that serve auto-oriented suburbs and provide lots of parking get many of their riders on foot. San Francisco’s BART has a total of 45,984 parking spaces at 34 of its 45 stations, but only half of passengers get from home to the train by car. Moreover, those passengers arriving in a car don’t have a second car waiting on the other end of their trip; once they arrive, they, too, become pedestrians. Making walking convenient, comfortable, and safe builds ridership.
