| Abstract: | Is bus rapid transit (BRT) a viable transit option in Delaware? Findings of IPA research indicate that a regional BRT system is indeed worthy of further
consideration. An assessment of domestic BRT systems and operations reveal substantial
progress towards solidifying the position of BRT as a viable transit mode. The strength of the
mode lies in its ability to develop incrementally, respond to regional mobility needs, adjust to
budget constraints, and its potential to attract choice riders for a relatively low capital cost. |
