Flash BRT


Flash BRT is a bus rapid transit network in Montgomery County, Maryland with one line under construction and two additional lines in the design phase. When complete, the network will run along U.S. 29 from Silver Spring to Burtonsville, Maryland Route 355 from Bethesda to Clarksburg, and Veirs Mill Road from Wheaton to Rockville.

Route

U.S. Route 29

The service will run from the Silver Spring Metrorail station along U.S. 29, before ending at the Burtonsville Park and Ride. The service will run along road shoulders along the northern end. The remainder of the service will run on mixed-traffic roadways. Buses will also receive signal priority at some intersections. Howard County has also studied the possibility of extending the BRT line from Burtonsville to Maryland Route 99 in Ellicott City.

Maryland Route 355

Once complete, this line will begin at Bethesda Station and run along MD 355 through the cities of Rockville and Gaithersburg before terminating at the Clarksburg Outlets shopping mall.

Veirs Mill Road

Currently in the preliminary design phase, this line will run from Wheaton station to Rockville station and connect to the MD 355 line. The initial plan includes 11 stations, with a possible future extension to Montgomery College along that portion of the MD 355 line's route.

Stations

There are approximately 45 stations proposed across the network. Stations will feature bus arrival signs, off-board fare collection, platform-level boarding, and all-door boarding.
