Most Montgomery County Council members support using bus rapid transit on the planned Corridor Cities Transitway along Interstate 270, reversing a decision made in 2009.

In November 2009, Montgomery officials signed a joint letter to the Maryland Department of Transportation recommending that light rail be used to carry residents along the I-270 corridor. But after an economic impact analysis pointed out the benefits of bus rapid transit, or BRT, County Executive Ike Leggett and the County Council are changing their views.
