Bus frequency should be 30 minutes or less and commuter bus service should be improved and expanded. Bus rapid transit and light rail options should be planned and MARC services improved by increasing the frequency of departures, extending the hours of service, and improving Camden line service. The Green Washington Metro line should be extended to Howard County. A comprehensive traffic/transit study for Columbia is needed before promulgation of a master plan. Prevention of traffic congestion should be one of the county’s highest priorities.
