Proceedings of the Bus Rapid Transit Deployment Strategy Workshop, Washington, D.C., March 14, 2001

The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Program held a workshop on BRT Vehicle Deployment Strategy on March 14, 2001, at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss BRT vehicle issues with transit agencies and transit manufacturers/suppliers in an effort to speed deployment of BRT projects. The meeting opened with a review of the FTA's overall BRT vehicle design and deployment strategy. This was followed by a discussion of the BRT vehicle strategy. Reviews of ongoing FTA activities were provided as background, with presentations on the European Scanning Tour, the Vehicle Design Competition, the Curitiba Scanning Tour and the BRT Vehicle White Paper. Project updates were given by members of the BRT Consortium discussing vehicle procurement, project development, and project implementation. Breakout sessions were held to discuss the four areas of procurement, standards, technology and manufacturing and testing. The workshop ended with a review of the New Starts process at FTA.
