Lowcountry Rapid Transit Project Profile
The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) proposes to implement a bus rapid transit (BRT) service connecting North Charleston and Charleston. The Project is planned to operate in a dedicated guideway for 11.7 miles (55 percent of the route), with a combination of median-running and side-running exclusive lanes. The Project includes 21 60-foot articulated diesel buses with doors on both sides, two non-revenue vehicles, traffic signal priority, upgrades to the existing operations and maintenance facility, and a park-and-ride facility with parking space for approximately 140 vehicles.
