Jarrett Walker – just possibly the best blogger on transit and transportation anywhere – is now launching his book of the same name: Human Transit. He’ll be speaking more about the issues and ideas raised at previous presentations in Vancouver.

In Human Transit, Walker supplies the basic tools, the critical questions and the means to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing transit services.  Whether you are in the field or simply a concerned citizen, he provides an accessible guide to achieving successful public transit that will enrich any community.

His book will be available for sale.
