Book Description
ABSTRACT: The congestion affecting the metropolitan area surrounding our nation's capital is at a level that surpasses New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago in terms of hours lost in traffic (Haysley, 2011). This is detrimental to the environment and the economy of the region that includes Montgomery County, MD. Many hurdles and impediments exist to alternative transportation systems and their implementation such as; government policies, politicians, interest groups, lobbyists, and the institutions that manage these systems. The Transit Task Force under the direction of the Montgomery County Council is actively developing a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system to improve transportation throughout the region. The goal of this system is to provide an alternative to the automobile that can offer comparable (in many ways improved, especially during peak-hour) levels of speed and service comparable to a rail system at far less cost. This research recommends stop and station locations for further investigation along four of the six additional corridors recommended by Transit Task Force Work Group D (routes and sequencing). These stop and station locations have been selected in relation to their proximity to current and planned transportation routes, activity centers, and other criteria that are considered when determining stop and station location for BRT and LRT.
