This paper describes how four state capital cities are using bus rapid transit, in conjunction with other transit options, to improve mobility in congested city centers. The four cities, Denver, CO, St. Paul, MN, Boston, MA, and Hartford CT, all take slightly different approaches with several using historic transit infrastructure in their efforts to provide updated transit options.
