Existing Daily Bus Ridership Based on data rec’d from ITDP

Transportation Modeling Median busways were treated in the model the same as Light Rail Transit to determine maximum desirable network. Curb bus lanes would be accomplished via lane-repurposing, converting either existing or planned travel lanes. Four scenarios were considered: no-build build as all median busway BRT (Build 1) build as mostly median busway BRT with some lane-repurposing (Build 2) smaller network with a mix of treatments (Build 2A)

Determining BRT Treatment  Standard thresholds per the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM)  Median Busway: 2,400 people in the peak hour in the peak direction (pphpd)  Curb Bus Lanes: 1,200 pphpd  MNCPPC-modified thresholds for Montgomery County  Median Busway: 1,600 pphpd  Curb Bus Lanes: 1,000 pphpd

Modified Treatment Thresholds Median busway warranted on MD355 and MD650.

MARC Brunswick Line Expansion  Our preliminary recommendation is that the segment between the Frederick County line and Metropolitan Grove be included in the Functional Plan.

Build 1 Traffic Impacts (AM)

Build 1 Traffic Impacts (PM)

Three scenarios were considered: no-build build as all median busway BRT build as mostly median busway BRT with some lane-repurposing Final model run will include the actual recommended treatment. Overview of Modeling Effort Districts created across Montgomery County and the region to summarize transportation impacts

 No-Build High levels of congestion Lack of capacity to accommodate growth  Build additional lanes for transit Capacity to accommodate growth Good improvement in traffic conditions High cost  Repurpose existing travel lanes for transit Capacity to accommodate growth Some improvement in traffic conditions Lowest cost in dollars, environmental and community impacts Choices for our Transportation Future
