The Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT) proposal is for a 15-mile (24 km) bus rapid transit line in Maryland that would run from the Shady Grove Metro station in Gaithersburg northwest to Clarksburg.[2] The proposed master plans for Montgomery County and Frederick County provide for the eventual extension of the CCT northward along I-270 into Frederick City. The project is in jeopardy now that funding is not available from the state[3] and the project has been removed from the development and evaluation phase of the Consolidated Transportation Plan.[4] “'From all indications, the project is dead,' said state Del. Kirill Reznik (D-Montgomery)."[5]
