摘要：	This report presents the results of a study of the cost benefit of converting a mixed-flow travel lane to exclusive bus rapid transit (BRT) use. This research included a comprehensive literature review of BRT projects in operation in the United States and several other countries, identification of potential locations where BRT implementation involved taking or converting an existing mixed-flow traffic lane for exclusive BRT use, interviews with representatives of these projects, and preparation of this report summarizing the findings of the research. In addition, research team members conducted research on level of service (LOS) and other evaluation criteria used for the evaluation of BRT proposals, benefit/cost approaches, and evaluation criteria for the Federal Small Starts program--a major source of federal funding for BRT implementation.
