Lane Transit District is asking drivers and road users to be cautious around select areas as workers paint red the "bus only" lanes throughout the EmX (Emerald Express) System.

Painting the bus only lanes red better shows drivers where they can and cannot drive, stop and turn. The enhancement, including additional signage in some areas, is expected to make driving safer on these streets and intersections traveled by buses, personal and commercial vehicles and bicycles.

Painting select Emx Bus Only lanes red is part of the work Brown Contracting began earlier this month to remove and repaint Bus Only and turn legends in all EmX lanes.

The money to fund the $2 million safety enhancement project comes from 5307 and Formula funds, State Lottery Bond funds, as well as an LTD general fund match.
