Commuters in Prince George’s County, Md., are reaping the benefits of MDOT’s $34.8 million Takoma Langley Crossroads Transit Center, completed in December 2016. The 12-bus bay transit center is a hub for Metrobus, Ride On, TheBus and University of Maryland shuttles, serving 12,000 commuters each day, many of whom transfer between bus routes. Prior to the center, the area experienced a high rate of pedestrian crashes due to this shuffle. However, the transit center allows for far fewer street crossings, creating a much safer environment for commuters. The center also relieves traffic congestion at nearby intersections, moving transit services into a central off-street location.
