The Red Line is CDTA's first BusPlus BRT line, initially launching in 2011. Since then, the Red Line has become an integral part of the Capital Region's transit network, featuring a slew of station upgrades and roadway/intersection improvements along the route.
CDTA has also been working on a related station upgrade and intersection improvement project called the Red Line Update. The Red Line Update aims to bring pedestrian enhancements, accessibility improvements, and modern amenities to the BusPlus BRT Red Line route.
