Bus Rapid Transit is a rubber tired bus
based transit system
It improves travel speed, reliability, and customer capacity and experience through enhancements to BRT elements.
BRT may be implemented in phases or at a scale to match passenger demand and funding availability.

BRT projects are linear infrastructure with many discrete sites over long routes.
These sites include a range of construction activities:• Station areas• Pathways/sidewalks• Roadworks• Intersection modifications• Traffic signal modifications
Construction Challenges
![Page 20: Calgary Crosstown BRT V - Ian. BRT... · • Ride Share (Uber, Lyft) • Taxi • Paratransit • Bus (feeder, crosstown, mainline) • Express Bus • Streetcar / Tram (mixed traffic)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed407d48d46b66d22635088/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Utility conflict identification and resolution
Construction Challenges

Power routing coordination
Providing power to station shelters and equipment requires running power from transformers that may be one or two blocks away in congested urban areas.
Electrical designs prepared long before ULA’s approved (and often adjusted) requiring design confirmations and contract adjustments
Construction Challenges
![Page 22: Calgary Crosstown BRT V - Ian. BRT... · • Ride Share (Uber, Lyft) • Taxi • Paratransit • Bus (feeder, crosstown, mainline) • Express Bus • Streetcar / Tram (mixed traffic)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed407d48d46b66d22635088/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Traffic signal modifications
These can be required due to TSP, Queue Jumps or geometric improvements.
As this can involve many dozens of intersections along BRT routes this work requires a long lead time.
Construction Challenges
![Page 23: Calgary Crosstown BRT V - Ian. BRT... · • Ride Share (Uber, Lyft) • Taxi • Paratransit • Bus (feeder, crosstown, mainline) • Express Bus • Streetcar / Tram (mixed traffic)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed407d48d46b66d22635088/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Traffic ControlThe many discrete sites along the route require lane closures for each stage of construction.• Utilities• Concrete slab• Sidewalks/WCR’s• Roadworks• SheltersRoutes are typically on the busiest roads and require off-peak work and frequent set-ups and take-downs.
Construction Challenges

Considerations:
• Single or Multiple projects (by route or type of work)
• Earlyworks projects (e.g. utilities) or single project delivery
• Design-Bid-Build or Construction Management
