Moving Forward. Faster.
Dedicated to faster and more reliable transit service.
Dedicated Bus Lanes are proposed for University Boulevard in Summer/Fall 2023
University Blvd (MD 193) BUS LANE PILOT*
MCDOT will begin a dedicated bus lane pilot this summer 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.
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.
