BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY LINE, ROUTES B21, B22 CROFTON – NEW CARROLLTON LINE, ROUTES B29, B31 POINTER RIDGE LINE, ROUTE C28
SERVICE AREA Bowie State University (B21, B22), Race Track Road (B22), The Market Place at Belair Center (B22), Crofton Park & Ride Lot (B29, B31), Gateway Center (B29, B31), Covington (B29, B31), Bowie Town Center (B29, B31, C28), Bowie Health Center & Bowie Senior Center (C28), Pointer Ridge (C28), Bowie Park & Ride Lot, New Carrollton station
OPTION 1
• Restructure Service – Instead of operating through to New Carrollton station, all service on these routes (except for B31 trips) would terminate at the Bowie Park & Ride lot and connect there with shuttle service to New Carrollton station via John Hanson Highway operating every 10-15 minutes. B31 operates in the evening after service has ended on B21, B22, B29, and C28 so it would continue to operate through service between New Carrollton station and Gateway Center via the Bowie Park & Ride lot. • Route/Segment Elimination – Service on the common routing between the Bowie Park & Ride lot and New Carrollton station now used by B21, B22, and B29 would be discontinued. • Alternative Service Available – New shuttle service between the Bowie Park & Ride lot and New Carrollton station. • Reasons for Change – Proposals have been made in three independent studies that routes serving the Bowie Park & Ride lot be converted to a hub-and-spoke configuration.
OPTION 2
• Restructure Service – Routes B21, B22, B29, and C28 would continue to operate through service via the Bowie Park & Ride lot to New Carrollton station. The frequency on each route would be increased during rush periods to every 30 minutes. (Some trips now operate at intervals as wide as every 40 minutes.) Schedules would be coordinated at the Bowie Park & Ride lot to provide an even 10 minute frequency between there and New Carrollton station. • Route/Segment Elimination – No route segments would be eliminated. • Alternative Service Available – None needed. • Reasons for Change – Avoids the need to transfer at the Bowie Park & Ride lot (as in Option 1). Provides close, even intervals of service (every 10 minutes) between there and New Carrollton station.
OPTION 3
• Restructure Service – Eliminate service to Crofton Park & Ride lot on routes B29 and B31. Instead serve Bowie Health Center, Bowie Senior Center, Bowie Town
102 of 125
Center, and Gateway Center. Routes B21, B22, B29, and C28 would continue to operate through service via the Bowie Park & Ride lot to New Carrollton station. The frequency on each route would be increased during rush periods to every 30 minutes. (Some trips now operate at intervals as wide as every 40 minutes.) Schedules would be coordinated at the Bowie Park & Ride lot to provide an even 10 minute frequency between there and New Carrollton station. • Route/Segment Elimination – Segment between Gateway Center and Crofton Park & Ride lot eliminated. • Alternative Service Available – Improved coordination at Bowie Park & Ride lot offers 10 minute peak period frequency to New Carrollton, instead of four morning and three evening trips from Crofton Park & Ride. • Reasons for Change – Shifts service away from low usage Crofton Park & Ride lot to better serve activity centers in Bowie. Avoids the need to transfer at the Bowie Park & Ride lot (as in Option 1). Provides close, even intervals of service (every 10 minutes) between there and New Carrollton station.

LAUREL EXPRESS LINE, ROUTES 87, 88 LAUREL LINE, ROUTES 89, 89M
SERVICE AREA Laurel, MD Rt. 197 (87, 88), U.S. Rt. 1 (89, 89M), South Laurel Park & Ride (87, 88, 89M), Konterra (89, 89M), Greenbelt station (87, 89, 89M), New Carrollton station (88)
RESTRUCTURE SERVICE • Consolidate both existing lines (four routes) into a single new line (one route) shaped like an upside-down U, to be designated L12. • Operate the easterly (Rt. 197) leg of L12 to Greenbelt station via the South Laurel Park & Ride Lot, Muirkirk Road, Old Baltimore Pike, Howard University (Beltsville Campus), Vansville, and Edmonston Road (MD. Rt. 201), providing new service to several neighborhoods that now have none and eliminating service on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, where there can be no bus stops. • Extend the westerly (Rt. 1) leg of L12 south to College Park station, providing a connection to the University of Maryland requested by the City of Laurel. • Streamline the routing in Laurel, with the local carrier Central Maryland Regional Transit (CMRT) providing the neighborhood service and Metrobus providing the connections linking Laurel with Metrorail and with Washington-area regional service. The primary transfer point between the two providers would be on 4th Street behind Laurel Mall. • Operate coordinated schedules between CMRT and Metrobus routes to maximize passenger convenience. • Option 1: Extend L12 service north of MD Rt. 198 (Gorman Avenue/Talbott Avenue) to the Laurel MARC station. • Option 2: On the easterly leg, divert to the Muirkirk MARC station those L12 trips that would make convenient connections to or from MARC service. • Option 3: On the westerly leg, operate L12 service via Oxford Drive and Ashford Boulevard instead of via Rt. 1 between Cherry Lane and Cypress Street in order to more directly serve the residential area west of Laurel Lakes Centre.
ROUTE / SEGMENT ELIMINATION • All of the existing 87, 88 and 89, 89M local routings west of 4th Street and north of Rt. 198 in Laurel • Baltimore-Washington Parkway (87, 88; no bus stops) • Powder Mill Road between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Edmonston Road through the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (87) • Route 88 service to New Carrollton station. (presently 3 AM trips from Laurel, 3 PM trips to Laurel) • Sunnyside Avenue between Rt. 1 and Edmonston Road (89, 89M)
ALTERNATIVE SERVICE AVAILABLE • CMRT service would replace Metrobus service over the same or similar routings west of 4th Street and north of Rt. 198 in Laurel. • No replacement service on Powder Mill Road. NOTE: Route B30 operates via Powder Mill Road and could be permitted to serve the existing route 87 stops, but
118 of 125
B30 charges the airport express fare and 87 charges the local fare. • No replacement service between Laurel and New Carrollton station. • No replacement service on Sunnyside Avenue between Rt. 1 and Edmonston Road. (Most passengers’ destinations are within walking distance of Rt. 1.)
REASONS FOR CHANGE • To streamline and improve the efficiency of Laurel service. • To improve the rush period frequency of service on the westerly (Rt. 1) leg, which now operates every 40 minutes. • To assign service to the agency best suited to provide it - local service to CMRT, regional service to Metrobus.

NEW HAMPSHIRE AVENUE - MARYLAND LINE, ROUTE K6 NEW HAMPSHIRE AVENUE - MARYLAND LIMITED LINE, ROUTE K9
SERVICE AREA White Oak, Food & Drug Administration in the Federal Research Center (FDA/FRC) complex, Hillandale, Northwest Park, Langley Park, Chillum, Fort Totten station
RESTRUCTURE SERVICE • Extend K9 to White Oak with new limited stops at Oakview Drive, Powder Mill Road (Hillandale), Schindler Drive/Mahan Road (entrance to FDA/FRC), on New Hampshire Avenue at Lockwood Drive, on Old Columbia Pike west of Stewart Lane, and on Lockwood Drive east of New Hampshire Avenue (terminus). • Divert K9 trips to serve the Food & Drug Administration in the Federal Research Center on northbound trips in the AM rush and on southbound trips in the PM rush. Trips that did not divert would serve stops on New Hampshire Avenue at Schindler Drive southbound and at Mahan Road northbound, at the entrance to FDA/FRC. • ALTERNATIVE ROUTING IN DC UNDER CONSIDERATION – K9 would operate between New Hampshire Avenue & Eastern Avenue and Fort Totten station via Eastern Avenue and Riggs Road instead of via New Hampshire Avenue and North Capitol Street. The existing southbound stops on New Hampshire Avenue at Eastern Avenue and on New Hampshire Avenue at Rittenhouse Street would be replaced by a single stop on Eastern Avenue at Rittenhouse Street. No change to the northbound stop on New Hampshire Avenue north of Eastern Avenue. No other existing bus stops would be affected. K9 would serve stops on Riggs Road at Chillum Place, convenient to the new Walmart.
ROUTE / SEGMENT ELIMINATION • Discontinue K9 operation through Northwest Park (Northampton Drive, Southampton Drive). Operate K9 via New Hampshire Avenue direct. • Discontinue the K6 diversion via FDA/FRC now made northbound in the AM rush and southbound in the PM rush.
ALTERNATIVE SERVICE AVAILABLE • Northwest Park would continue to be served by K6. • K9 would replace K6 on the FDA/FRC diversion.
REASONS FOR CHANGE • To extend K9 limited-stop service to areas north of Northwest Park. • To provide faster service for K9 passengers from points north of Northwest Park. K6 provides adequate capacity through that apartment complex.
