"Billions of dollars in new BRT projects are sprouting up all over the country, particularly on the West Coast, which reported 11 new BRTs in the planning stages, totaling approximately $1.8 billion — one-third of the estimated total of all surveyed projects that provided a dollar amount ($3.6 billion).
