Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a transportation mode that does not currently exist in metro Atlanta.
BRT is similar to rail-based transit services but uses rubber-tired vehicles to provide greater service flexibility at a lower cost. Like rail, BRT provides high quality transit service to move a large number of people quickly and efficiently to and from their destinations. Its main advantages are significantly lower capital costs than heavy rail—BRT capital costs are roughly 10% of heavy rail’s—and dramatically faster implementation timelines.
It is characterized as operating in predominately, but not necessarily exclusively, dedicated right-of-way along with other treatments to increase overall speed and reliability of service. BRT right-of-way may include a dedicated transit-only corridor, transit-only lanes adjacent to mixed traffic lanes, or mixed traffic lanes.
BRT is accessed at transit stations that are spaced every ½ to 1 mile with distinctive branding, off-board fare collection, real-time bus arrival information, and enhanced waiting areas.

Gwinnett Way, a study conducted in 2016 by the three Community Improvement Districts (CIDs) along this corridor, envisioned a potential transit future for Satellite Boulevard. Below is an image from this study.
