Incremental BRT: Assessing Performance

This project will assess the performance of various bus rapid transit (BRT) components as implemented by United States (US) and potentially Canadian transit agencies. It will collect data from transit agencies regarding the impact of BRT components on corridor ridership, operating costs, and other parameters. It will then assess the performance of these components and seek to provide transit agencies with information on the relative costs and benefits of investing in these components.
