Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a new form of public transportation that uses public roads, right-of-way and transit advantages to provide dependable, high-speed bus service regardless of weather or traffic conditions. BRT will begin operation along the Cedar Avenue and I-35W corridors in late 2009, as part of the region's Urban Partnership Agreement: Innovative Choices for Congestion Relief. Station-to-station service will begin operating after roadway improvements are completed on Cedar Avenue, likely in 2011 or 2012.
BRT Questions and Answers In this section, we will begin to list questions we have received about the BRT operations on the Cedar Avenue Corridor, and offer answers as the information becomes available. Check back often to keep up to date on this project. And, if you have a question, please be sure to e-mail us at mvta@mvta.com.
