This session explores how collaborative delivery models—like Progressive Design-Build (PDB) and Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC)—enhance transit projects in dense urban areas. Traditional models often lead to delays and disruptions, while collaborative approaches involve early coordination among contractors, designers, agencies, and communities. The session will review case studies of actual projects highlighting how collaboration minimized impacts while maintaining mobility. The discussion covers strategies like temporary bus access, pedestrian paths, and real-time service alerts, asking whether these short-term solutions could become lasting transit improvements. The goal: transit systems that serve communities before, during, and after construction.
