The study focused on private sector financing of transit improvements between North Bethesda business and commercial areas and the Grosvenor Metrorail Station. As part of this study, an investigation was made of the feasibility of using any of a number of advanced vehicle and guideway technologies commonly referred to as 'People Movers' in this corridor. Recognizing the potential applicability of other transit technologies such as light rail or enhanced bus service, we have designated the potential alignment as a transitway to better reflect the potential for a wide range of transit services. The body of the report refers to 'People Mover' throughout and should be interpreted as referring to a transitway.
