Ride-On Transit Center and MCPS Bus Depot Relocation Projects
Review: The Council will review the Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s (MCDOTs) new Transit Maintenance Depot Project and the MCPS Bus Depot and Maintenance Relocation Project within the FY25-30 CIP. The New Transit Maintenance Depot Project provides for the planning and design of a new transit bus depot, which includes maintenance and repair facilities to accommodate up to 255 buses. The MCPS Bus Depot and Maintenance Relocation Project provides for a comprehensive feasibility study and planning for the relocation of the MCPS Bus Depot from the County Service Park on Crabbs Branch Way.
The County Executive has recommended $3.5 million in FY25-26 for each project, for a total of $7 million. The funding will be used to conduct community engagement, project scope and preliminary design activities for a new transit facility, which would be shared by Ride-On and MCPS school buses on the property of the current Shady Grove MCPS Transportation Depot at Crabbs Branch Way. According to MCDOT, the new depot is needed by 2030 to meet the department’s 2035 zero-emission goals.
The joint Education and Culture (EC) and Transportation and Environment (TE) Committee recommends approval of the two projects as submitted.
