A study was conducted to ascertain whether or not an arterial bus priority treatment affects the cost of bus operations. Arterial priority treatments were evaluated for the effectiveness of operations within the Central Business District. Bus operating costs affected by the benefits of an arterial priority treatment were discussed. A case study using the Benning Line of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Auth. Metrobus System was then undertaken to illustrate the impact of the arterial priority treatment upon bus operating costs. The results indicate a potential for significant savings in bus operating costs. Briefly, the results show an annual savings of approximately $8,800 due to the implementation of a priority treatment along one mile of an arterial in downtown Washington, D.C. This compared to an arterial priority treatment capital cost of about $10,000 per mile.
