BRT Enabling Technologies
8:30 - 10 a.m.
Grand Ballroom A, Level 2
You might not need these technologies to have a
successful BRT application, but they sure help.
There are many technologies that can assist with operating
a BRT system. Some agencies have deployed Vehicle
Guidance, Transit Signal Priority, and ITS technologies with
good results and some have learned some valuable lessons.
This session will provide clues to how technologies can
enhance the BRT experience and what provides the biggest
bang for the buck.
