West Coast US goes for BRT: David Crawford on transit activity on the US's Pacific Coast

摘要

The US Pacific Coast is fast consolidating its position as the major North American investor in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) implementation, with a total of 16 projects worth some US$2.3bn due to come into operation over the period 2010-2017. In California, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)'s Interstate 15 (1-15) Express Lanes 'freeway within a freeway', due for completion in 2012, is providing the area's first BRT scheme, which will connect employment areas along a 32km route.
