Madison St BRT - RapidRide G Line

Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and King County Metro are upgrading transit service on Madison St to a RapidRide Line which will include:

*	More buses, including on nights and weekends
*	New diesel-hybrid buses
*	More spacing between stops and all-door boarding so you get to your destination faster
*	New bus shelters, lighting, ORCA card readers, and real-time arrival displays

DESIGN UPDATES
We’ve been working with the community and agencies since 2014 to build a design that meets the needs and vision of the corridor including: 

*	Shorter crosswalks at key intersections so people walking have time to get to the other side of the street
*	New diesel-hybrid bus fleet which eliminates the need to extend the overhead trolley wire from 19th Ave to Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr Way. This also removes the small power supply converter (TPSS) from the design at Madison St and E John St.
*	New curbside bus stop on 1st Ave
*	Updated bus layover station at E Arthur Pl and MLK Jr Way with fewer poles and overhead wires
*	New pedestrian signal at 10th Ave to help people cross Madison St to get to Seattle University and other destinations
*	Underground stormwater detention tanks on Union St at 10th Ave and 13th Ave

PROJECT ELEMENTS

*	Station platforms are ADA accessible and level with the bus for quick and easy onboarding
*	Buses will have more doors and allow riders to board from both sides with new center-running platforms
*	Pavement repairs and repaving throughout the corridor

RapidRide buses come more frequently and include all-door boarding, so you get to your destination faster. 

PROJECT BUDGET AND FUNDING
This project is partially funded by the voter-approved Levy to Move Seattle, voter approved Sound Transit 3 (ST3) package, and state and federal grants. We are pursuing Federal Transit Administration funding to be able to deliver this project. The project budget is $121 million.
