The Right Vehicle for BRT<br />
10:15 - 11:45 a.m.<br />
Grand Ballroom A, Level 2<br />
How does the type of vehicle factor into BRT success?<br />
Many BRT projects are choosing hybrids or other advanced<br />
technology vehicles to provide service. Vehicle and vehicle<br />
design can impact the service delivery. The discussion<br />
at this session will center on what factors impact vehicle<br />
choice and what benefits may accompany the selections<br />
that are made.<br />
