NYC BUS RAPID TRANSIT STUDY

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A faster more reliable bus may be coming your way in the future.

MTA New York City Transit, the New York City Department of
Transportation and the New York State Department of
Transportation have been studying the creation of Bus Rapid
Transit in New York City that would improve the speed, reliability
and appeal of the bus system. The agencies have led a detailed,
five-borough review of potential corridors and have identified 15
possible corridors throughout the city.


PUBLIC MEETINGS SCHEDULED

Come to the meetings and:
- Learn about the 15 candidate corridors identified
- Learn about what's been happening on the study
- Provide your input in selecting the five demonstration corridors

Presentations will cover the same content.
Feel free to come to the session most convenient for you.
