The Montgomery County Planning Department is currently working on the Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan and will be considering the Rapid Transit Task Force's final report recommendations as we move forward. As stated in our 1/19/12 memo to the Planning Board, repurposing existing travel lanes to create dedicated bus lanes is our preferred choice in urbanized areas.

In the next month, we will begin doing some additional transportation modeling to determine the impacts of this lane-repurposing on forecast BRT ridership and on traffic congestion. And we will be working with our partners who operate the county's roadways - SHA and MCDOT - on person-throughput measures to help us determine where lanes can feasibly be repurposed, limiting impacts on existing development as well as reducing the cost of implementing the BRT network.
