A block of text from NACTO's guide that reads, in part: Giving the bus its own lane increases ridership by improving bus travel time and reliability. In New York City, the 14th Street busway halved transit travel times on the corridor, increasing ridership by 17% in just two months without increasing traffic congestion on adjacent streets.56 Similarly, a four-block bus-bike lane on SW Madison Street in Downtown Portland allows eastbound buses to move as much as 76% faster, benefitting thousands and improving safety for bicyclists. 57 Dedicated bus lanes on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles similarly cut travel times by 28% for over 90,000 daily riders. 58 Dedicated bus lanes are quick to implement and easy to refine. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic illustrated how quickly cities can install bus lanes. In the summer of 2020, as traffic congestion started to return, cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. installed bus lanes in just a few months by streamlining approvals and limiting or eliminating the standard red paint treatment. In San Francisco, the city adopted a Transit Quick-Build policy to allow simple bus priority measures to advance after getting alignment internally and wrapping up the public outreach process without the need for additional Board approval

A Powerpoint slide says that, when Seattle lowered its speed limits to 25 mph citywide, it saw 18% fewer crashes with injuries annually, a 2.5 mph reduction in the median travel speed, and a 54% reduction in people driving over 40 mph. When Bellevue lowered speeds in the Eastgate neighborhood to 20 mph, the city saw a 24% reduction in people driving greater than 30 mph.
