Red Line Construction Projects
Project Overview
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.
Gateway Mobility Hub
GATEWAY PLAZA, SCHENECTADY, NY
The Gateway Mobility Hub is the Capital Region's first multi-modal transit center, providing access to ten transit routes including the Red Line, the DRIVE car share service, and the CDPHP Cycle! bike share program.
Red Line Station Refresh
VARIOUS RED LINE STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CAPITAL REGION
CDTA is now providing new customer enhancements at Red Line Stations including rehabilitation of the existing shelter, replacing the lights and installing heaters, USB chargers and solar panels, as well as installing snowmelt pads for heated sidewalks.
Roadway and Intersection Improvements
INTERSECTIONS ALONG NY-5
CDTA has successfully completed the upgrade of roadway and intersections along the BusPlus BRT Red Line. The first phase of the Red Line Update covered the BusPlus stations in Schenectady from Veeder/Nott to Niskayuna, and ata collection, traffic analysis, and public engagement were used to inform design changes. New features to the red line improve the station areas and adjacent intersections for transit riders, pedestrians, and other travelers throughout the corridor.
