Late-night Integrated Transportation

Hospitality zones create new challenges for pedestrian and traffic safety. Large concentrations of 18-30 year olds exiting simultaneously from multiple venues at closing hours must compete for safe rides home.

Late-night Integrated Transportation (LIT) maximizes patrons’ and employees’ safe and efficient access to transportation options. Facilitating safest uses of conventional transportation options, maximizing points of intervention for potential intoxicated drivers and pedestrians, and utilizing innovative strategies to address gaps or hazards in existing pedestrian/traffic safety strategies can be a benefit to all stakeholders. By planning for a comprehensive network of transportation services that complement and maximize the safety of each, cities can ensure safer and more efficient access and exiting of the hospitality zone for those who socialize and work there, and reduce alcohol-related crashes.
