What to Expect from the Bus Rapid Transit Project
Set to begin later this year and wrap up by fall 2026, the $250 million Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit Project promises to transform a 12.5-mile stretch from the South Strip Transit Terminal near the airport to the Las Vegas Medical District near UMC. This extensive overhaul aims to enhance safety and improve transit efficiency with several key features:
- Wider Sidewalks: Safer, more accessible paths for pedestrians.
- Shared Bus-Bike Lanes: Encouraging eco-friendly travel options.
- Increased Lighting and Shading: Creating a more comfortable environment for all.
- Larger Passenger Shelters: Better protection from the elements.
- Faster Transit Service: Streamlined routes for quicker commutes.
With approximately 35,000 vehicles and 9,000 transit riders traveling Maryland Parkway daily, these upgrades are set to significantly benefit one of the busiest routes in Southern Nevada’s public transit system.
