The Maryland Department of Transportation<http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/> (MDOT), in partnership with the Montgomery County Department of Transportation<http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dot/index.html> (MCDOT), invites the public to attend two open houses to learn more about and provide input on plans to develop Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along a portion of the MD 355 corridor from Bethesda to Clarksburg. At the open houses, residents will have the opportunity to meet the project team and get more information about:

  *   How BRT works, what it looks like and other details about operations;
  *   The study process and schedule;
  *   Existing conditions in the study area; and
  *   A draft preliminary purpose and need statement for the project.
