Bill * USA - Would Allow Private Vans and Buses in Transit-Only Lanes
Seattle,WASH,USA -PubliCola, by Erica C. Barnett -February 18, 2010: ... Senate transportation leaders pushed through a bill that would allow private bus and vanpool companies unlimited access to facilities, like bus-rapid-transit lanes and public park-and-rides, currently reserved for public transit... The bill, would allow any vehicle with the capacity to carry eight or more passengers (except stretch limos and stretch SUVs) onto bus-only lanes, even if the vehicle has no passengers... The bill, ostensibly aimed at encouraging private transit services like Microsoft’s Connector buses to Redmond, would also open up bus lanes to charter vans, airport shuttles, and unspecified “private nonprofit transportation provider vehicles”... It would also allow those vehicles to park in park-and-rides at all hours... Labels: Bills and Laws
