8th Street SE Bus Priority

Project Overview

The 8th Street SE bus priority project aims to improve bus operations and safety between East Capitol Street and M Street SE. This project will identify and implement ways to improve bus service, access to bus stops, and safety along the corridor.

The project team is presenting the proposed concept at ANC meetings in September. The concept aims to address the issues identified in the needs assessment and advance the goals of improved bus service, safety, and access. The proposed concept plan is open for comment through October 10, 2023.

Following the meeting, the presentation, concept plans, and instructions for submitting comments will be posted on the project website here:
