Streetfilms documents the early results of an ambitious transit pilot project in Washington, D.C.
"DC’s H and I street pilot bus-only lanes are getting more publicity, now from a short film produced by public transit foundation TransitCenter and educational film nonprofit Streetfilms," reports Caitlin Rogger.
"The H and I pilot bus lanes have been operating since June 3 and will run until late September. Greater Greater Washington published a detailed analysis of early results earlier this month, and the District Department of Transportation’s (DDOT) data collection and analysis will do more to tell us how the lanes performed in quantitative terms," adds Rogger.
