Routes

The East-West BRT system will include three separate service patterns, one of which, BRT C, will serve as a link between the North and South Transfer Points. This route will use BRT buses, operating as BRT from Park St. to First St., and as local service north and south of the BRT corridor, providing a bus every 15 minutes linking the two transfer points.

The East-West BRT budget includes funding to purchase the larger buses needed for the North/South BRT line, making the project easier to fund in the future.

BRT A – Runs east to west from East Town Mall to High Point Rd. mainly along East Washington Ave, University Ave, and Mineral Point Rd.
BRT B – Runs from the Capitol Square to Middleton using BRT infrastructure from the Capitol Square to Whitney Way.
BRT C – Runs from the South Transfer Point to the North Transfer Point using BRT infrastructure from Park St. to First St.

Guideways

BRT will run in dedicated bus lanes, mixed traffic, and on the street shoulder. A portion of the line will run in new and existing dedicated bus lanes. For BRT running in mixed traffic, queue jumps and traffic signal controls will allow the BRT buses to move more quickly through traffic. Street shoulders will be used during heavy congestion along Campus Dr.
