This program provides for the planning, design, and construction of improvements such as bus lanes; queue jumps; passenger boarding and alighting improvements; implementation of transit signal priority; enhanced bus stops; and other similar capital improvements that will result in improved bus operations throughout Montgomery County. These improvements will advance the transit network specified by master plans. Potential improvements may also be identified through other planning and transit operations studies or requested by community members.

Sub-projects include: Veirs Mill Road, near the Wheaton Metrorail Station; Century Boulevard, Crystal Rock Drive and Aircraft Road near the Germantown Transit Center; and University Boulevard from Dennis Avenue to Amherst Avenue. Projects will be coordinated with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's Bus Priority Program, which will provide design for bus reliability improvements for up to two corridors in Montgomery County, with the intention that the improvements would be implemented by the County.

Cost increase due to the addition of FY29-30 in this level of effort project.

A pedestrian impact analysis will be performed during design or is in progress. Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
