[edit] Description
The Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT) is a proposed light rail or bus rapid transit line in Maryland that would run from the Shady Grove Metro station in Gaithersburg northwest to Clarksburg. The Master Plans for both Montgomery and Frederick Counties provide for the eventual extension of the CCT northward along I-270 into Frederick City.
The study is being performed by the Maryland Transit Administration in coordination with the larger I-270 / US 15 Multi-Modal Corridor Study being conducted by the Maryland Department of Transportation, which is examining multiple options for the region including possible Express Toll Lanes along I-270. A Draft Environmental Impact Study is currently expected to be completed in Spring 2007, after which public meetings will be held to review the findings. It is anticipated the preferred mode will be decided upon in Summer 2007.
