Now is your chance to influence the County bus system for the next ten years. Please take the survey and share your comments.

There are several methods available to share your thoughts on the county bus service, an online survey, by phone, written comments, and public forums. The Reston Public Workshop is at the Southgate Community Center, 2125 Pinecrest Road, on Monday September 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. You can visit the website for more information: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/connections2015/.

Remember, pathways, sidewalks and street crossings to bus stops and transit centers are part of the bus system as well. Please include your comments about access to the bus stops and the bus stop amenities as well.

Help Shape Fairfax County’s Future Bus Network!

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) has begun work on its Comprehensive Transit Plan (CTP), a ten-year aspirational plan for Fairfax Connector and Metrobus service within the County. The CTP builds on the County’s 2009 Transit Development Plan (TDP), our previous ten-year plan, and will extend our ten-year plan’s horizon year from 2020 to 2025.

This plan will be supported by information collected through an extensive outreach effort, Connections 2015. We want you to help us develop the next ten-year plan through participation in Connections 2015. Your ideas and suggestions will help us develop bus service recommendations and an implementation plan. We will be collecting feedback from County residents, workers, and visitors from September 9th through October 14th. We will use your input to help us develop draft recommendations that will be released to the public for comment in the spring of 2015. Your input is an important element in crafting the recommendations for improving bus service so that the plan can better reflect your needs.

Please take a moment to tell us how you use transit in the region by taking the short “Connections 2015” survey. Thank you for participating!
