Bus Rapid Transit

BRT is a relatively new type of transit mode that incorporates the flexibility of
rubber-tire buses with the speed, capacity, and operational elements of rail service. BRT vehicles can run in either their own dedicated rights-of-way or on roadways mixed with other traffic.

If selected as the transit mode for this project, BRT service would be provided in the I-295 and I-95 corridors.

More information about BRT can be found on the Federal Transit Administration Web site.
