Durham County is developing a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Vision Plan to examine corridor improvements and service investments for a comprehensive network of high-capacity transit services across Durham County. The Vision Plan will seek to enhance mobility and connectivity for residents and visitors across Durham County over the next 30 years. The Durham County Transportation Department will seek community input throughout the process to ensure the Vision Plan reflects local priorities.

The Vision Plan will identify and prioritize corridors for BRT-level service. BRT is a high-quality, bus-based transit service that provides safe, reliable, and frequent transportation. BRT services can feature high-frequency service, dedicated bus lanes, enhanced passenger amenities, and advanced traffic prioritization technology. The Durham BRT Vision Plan will assess strategies for BRT implementation. The plan will also assess where improvements, such as dedicated transit lanes, transit signal prioritization, and stop placement could provide substantial benefits.
