Moving Forward. Faster.
Dedicated to faster and more reliable transit service.
Dedicated Bus Lanes are proposed for University Boulevard in Fall 2023 - Spring 2024

University Blvd (MD 193) BUS LANE PILOT*
MCDOT’s dedicated bus lane pilot on University Boulevard, between Amherst Avenue and Dennis Avenue, to evaluate the potential for improving passenger travel times, service reliability, and customer experience by testing dedicated bus lanes has been delayed until Fall 2023/Spring 2024, due to the pending resolution of construction methods and funding.
The bus lane will be clearly identified with signs and pavement markings, and there will be no changes to existing parking or loading.
What are Dedicated Bus Lanes?
Lanes that allow buses to travel independently of regular traffic, saving time by making trips faster and more reliable. Bikes and emergency vehicles can also use these lanes.
