Richmond Highway BRT Project Profile
The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) proposes to implement a new bus rapid transit (BRT) line on the Richmond Highway (US 1) corridor, from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s (WMATA) end Yellow Line Huntington Station, to Ft. Belvoir, a major US Army installation, with more than 90 percent of that length in dedicated transit lanes. The proposed project also includes nine branded stations, a dedicated fleet of 21 new, 60-foot articulated electric buses with level boarding, roadway widening, upgrades to existing sidewalks and construction of new sidewalks, and bicycle facilities.
