Veirs Mill Road BRT Study Underway
While Montgomery County’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan moves forward through the master plan update process, the county has prioritized some of these corridors for more detailed study. One of these is the Veirs Mill Road corridor, generally stretching between the Rockville and Wheaton Metrorail Stations. Managing the effort on behalf of the county is the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) through the State Highway Administration (SHA) and the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). SHA, MTA, and Montgomery County hosted an open house in May to introduce the study to local residents and solicit feedback on some of the issues present along the corridor. You can view the study’s webpage for more information, where you can access the May 2012 Open House material.
