A shared lane or sharrow is a roadway that merges the bike lane with the automobile travel lanes without any physical separators. Painted symbols or signs indicate that motorized vehicles and bicycles have equal access to the travel lane.
Shared Lane or Sharrow
Shared Transit Lane
A shared transit lane is a lane of vehicular travel dedicated to a transit vehicle (e.g., bus).
A shared use path is an on or off-street facility dedicated to pedestrians, bicyclists, or other non- motorized users. On-street shared paths run along motorized lanes but are physically separated by a landscape buffer or barrier from the travel lanes.
Shared Use Path
A distinct pedestrian facility for pedestrian or non-motorized commuters that runs along the motorized travel lanes and shares the same right-of-way.
Sidewalk
Streetscape refers to the built and natural fabric of a street which may include the road, buildings, sidewalks, street trees, streetlights, benches, trash receptacles, and adjoining open spaces. Special elements include public art, drinking fountains, water fountains, outdoor seating, etc. A susceptibility to change analysis forecasts how a certain area or land will be developed considering different factors such as proximity to transit, the presence of commercial spaces along a corridor, the walkability of an area, the availability of vacant or underperforming land, etc. It also considers the future needs of the residents or neighborhoods. A TAZ is a geographical unit used in transportation planning to analyze specific demographic and land use data associated with an area and are used to determine trip demand and travel patterns. Traffic Analysis Zones are sometimes referred to as Transportation Analysis Zones. Traffic volumes are the amount of traffic on a roadway during a specified time period. A projected traffic volume refers to an estimate of the number of vehicles that are predicted to be on a roadway considering the future population and employment in an area, among other factors. Commuters exiting public transportation such as buses, trains, trams, etc. at a designated stop at or near their destinations.

TDI is a measurement used to indicate the likeliness that people living within certain areas would utilize public transit if it existed near them. It considers different demographic factors such as population size, people with low incomes, those over the age of 65, minority populations, those living with a disability, populations with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), and households with zero cars. A transit dependency metric is created to visualize the areas with potential transit- dependent population. A technology lane is a dedicated roadway lane for technology such as peak-hour management, autonomous vehicles, and other advanced roadway technology. Transit ridership refers to the number of passengers boarding public transport such as buses, trains, and trams etc. TOD is a type of development that is pedestrian friendly, and encourages a higher density mix of employment, commercial, and housing opportunities within in walking distance of transit. In a one-way movement by a specific mode of transport, the ending point or location of the journey is the trip destination.
