Five cities and their Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems across the United States and Mexico have received updated scores and designations in accordance with the latest 2024 edition of the BRT Standard. The new Standard draws on expert feedback that reflects the current nature of bus systems amid growing inequality, health concerns, and climate change. It has an expanded focus on gender, safety, and access; more attention to climate and resiliency; considerations for user experience; and criteria for operational improvements. The cities with new scores represent a spectrum of BRT systems that continue to demonstrate excellence in public transport and a commitment to sustainable mobility.
