Montgomery County's Flash bus rapid transit (BRT) line along Route 29 will be extended into Howard County next year, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball announced last week. Currently operating between downtown Silver Spring and Burtonsville, the extension will include new stations in Maple Lawn, downtown Columbia, and at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel. A $3.3 million federal grant, and matching funds from Howard County, will fund the extension. Using those funds, four additional buses will be purchased for operation on the extended line in 2026.
