The CCT is a study of the 14 mile transit corridor established in Montgomery County master plans in the early 1970’s. MTA is in the final stages of completing the Alternatives Analysis phase focusing on analysis of alignment modifications to more directly serve the Gaithersburg area of the CCT Corridor.
