Cleveland’s BRT is stuck in traffic

by Susan on July 8, 2010

Nearly two years after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority finished its HealthLine bus rapid transit project, the BRT vehicles are barely outpacing the buses they replaced. The City of Cleveland is still working to implement bus signal priority along the corridor; currently the buses are traveling with traffic, not ahead of it.  “I am very disappointed with the performance of the Euclid Corridor,” said Brad Chase, chairman of RTA’s Citizens Advisory Board. “It is much nicer and ridership is up, but timing-wise it has never really made it.” The city’s traffic commissioner said that BRT priority should be restored within a few months.
