Connections: The Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route connects people to life: jobs, education, medical services, downtown, shopping, neighborhood services, and more.

People: The corridor is home to 63,000 residents, 109,000 jobs, carries nearly 35,000 vehicles and 9,000 transit riders daily. Whether you walk, cycle, ride transit or drive, the Maryland Parkway BRT improvements will benefit everyone.

Destinations: The Maryland Parkway BRT isn’t just your ride to home or work. Stops are just steps away from entertainment venues in the heart of downtown Las Vegas and essential services throughout the corridor.

Transit: Maryland Parkway is one of the busiest transit routes in the RTC system, serving more customers per bus, per hour, than any other route, including the Las Vegas Strip.

The Maryland Parkway BRT corridor extends from the South Strip Transit Terminal in the south to the Las Vegas Medical District in the north. It includes 23 connections to other transit routes, nine of which are the busiest in the valley.

The Maryland Parkway BRT Project includes two primary features to keep traffic moving while improving access for everyone, whether they are walking, cycling or riding transit. The shared bus-bike lanes will keep buses and bikes out of the way of traffic while still allowing motorists to use them for right turns. We are also adding extra right turn lanes at major intersections for extra capacity.

While the right-most lane of Maryland Parkway already acts as a defacto right turn lane, making it exclusive to right turns only will both preserve its current use and allow for a more efficient transit system and a safer space for cyclists.

A traffic analysis was performed to confirm that the updated roadway design can accommodate existing and projected traffic adequately.

The shared bus-bike lane concept was chosen due to better visibility of cyclists by drivers and fewer transitions at stations, driveways and intersections. The shared bus-bike lane provides consistent grades throughout the corridor, allows for more sidewalk space for pedestrians and reduces conflicts.

The shared bus-bike lanes will keep buses and bikes out of the way of traffic while still allowing motorists to use them for right turns. We are also adding extra right turn lanes at major intersections for extra capacity.

The shared bus-bike lanes will be painted red, which have shown to be successful in other communities and should provide better comfort for everyone.

While the center-running concept was an initial recommendation from the Alternatives Analysis, the side-running concept was ultimately selected and approved as the most appropriate for this corridor. This was based on a number of considerations through the environmental process.

Due to maintenance issues, we don’t anticipate including charging stations at bus stops. We do provide them at our Bonneville Transit Center and South Strip Transit Terminal at each end of the route.

The back and side panels would be made from a perforated material to provide visibility through and behind each shelter.

Surveillance cameras will be installed at shelters along the route and all RTC transit vehicles are also equipped with high definition cameras that provide 24/7 surveillance of the system.

In addition, the RTC’s transit security is strategically deployed throughout the transit system.

As always, we also take input from customers regarding security and other concerns through the Transit Watch feature on our rideRTC mobile app.

While most of the locations will have similar sun exposure, we are considering site specific design features to maximize passenger comfort. The transit shelters are being designed with larger overhead canopies and other features to provide more shade. And where space is available, we are adding street trees and other landscaping features to improve comfort, whether you’re walking to and from the stops or waiting for your bus.

All plants will be selected from the Southern Nevada Water Authority approved plant list, which use minimal water. Trees and plants serve multiple purposes including shade, air quality, aesthetics and traffic calming.

This project will be constructed to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. This includes ramps at intersections, driveways and designated pedestrian crossings.

Off-board fare collection will be provided as it is today through the various mobile apps including rideRTC, Transit, Uber and Lyft. While there will be near-level boarding to make it easier for customers to get on and off the bus, bus operators will deploy ramps to ensure access for those with mobility devices, consistent with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Yes, we are planning to upgrade the traffic signal equipment at many of the intersections and use the latest technologies to provide faster service for our buses through transit signal priority.
