Washington, DC: Vision for the Future Multimodal K Street

Posted by Infra on Wednesday, May 1st, 2019

DDOT is designing the K Street Transitway to improve on-time bus performance and reliability of the east-west bus routes across the District. K Street NW from 12th Street to 21st Street is a critical component of east-west travel. Existing bus service in this corridor extremely slow, averaging 3 to 5 miles per hour in many segments and creating a bottleneck for routes traveling through downtown. With over 35,000 daily bus passengers moving east or west through downtown, representing approximately 40 percent of people travel on K Street, there is a lot to be gained by making transit work better.
