So let's recap. The Broad Street Corridor Rapid Transit Study was the first stage of the Bus Rapid Transit project. The study activities started in 2010. They included coordination with stakeholder groups, public meetings, alternatives assessment and development of environmental impact analysis. After completion of the Broad Street Rapid Transit Study in Spring 2014 and with endorsements and assistance from the Virginia DRPT, the City of Richmond and Henrico County, GRTC Transit System applied for a TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economy Recovery) Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). On September 13, 2014 DOT Secretary, Anthony Foxx awarded GRTC a TIGER grant in the amount of $24.9M.
Overall cost of the Project is supported with matching funds from the Commonwealth of Virginia, the City of Richmond and Henrico County. CLICK HERE to read our earlier blog post, "Follow the Money," to see who pays for what and how much.
Keep your finger on the Pulse of Bus Rapid Transit in Greater RVA!
