Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a new approach to traditional bus travel. The new buses will only stop at key destinations in order to provide faster service in existing transit corridors. BRT is planned to offer frequent service, have its own distinct identity, offer traffic signal priority and serve customized bus shelters that display real-time bus arrival information.


Harbor Boulevard BRT
The Harbor Boulevard BRT Project is the first of three BRT projects to be implemented by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in the next four years, and is scheduled for completion in late 2008. Route 43, which travels along Harbor Boulevard, is the busiest bus route in the county. The goal for the Harbor Boulevard BRT Project is to decrease travel time for customers and improve travel speed.


Westminster Boulevard/17th Street BRT
The Westminster Boulevard/17th Street BRT Project is the second of three BRT projects to be implemented by OCTA in the next four years, and is scheduled for completion in late 2009. Service on Westminster/17th will operate over a 22-mile, east-west route between Santa Ana and Long Beach, becoming the first truly regional BRT service operated by OCTA by providing direct connections to multimodal transit services in Los Angeles County at the Long Beach Transit Mall.


Brea to Irvine BRT
The Brea to Irvine BRT Project is the third of three BRT projects to be implemented by OCTA in the next four years, and is scheduled for completion in late 2010. The 28-mile Brea to Irvine route will operate northbound and southbound and will link Brea, Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and Irvine. Five major transportation centers will be served, including the Fullerton Transportation Center, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), the Depot at Santa Ana, John Wayne Airport and the Irvine Transportation Center.
