Fairfax Connector Bus Service Changes Proposed, Feedback Sought

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — Fairfax Connector is conducting a countywide review of bus service and seeking feedback on proposed bus service changes.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation will gather a second round of resident input on bus service through an online survey and two upcoming meetings. The feedback is part of the ten-year Transit Strategic Plan for Fairfax Connector bus service.

The first round of input was collected with reviews of sub-areas: Herndon-Reston, Franconia-Springfield, Centreville-Chantilly-Vienna-Tysons, and Huntington (part of the Richmond Highway Bus Rapid Transit project). The Herndon-Reston area is already set to get some bus route changes after Board of Supervisors approval in February. The changes include connections to the upcoming Silver Line Metro extension.

The second round of input will be the focus of public meetings Monday, March 28 and Thursday, March 31. Ahead of the meetings, residents can look at proposed route changes or new routes for Centreville, Chantilly, Vienna and Tysons, Franconia, Springfield and Huntington, Reston-Herndon and the combined three areas.

An online survey is available through April 16. Comments will also be accepted by mail to TSP c/o FCDOT Planning, 4050 Legato Road #400 Fairfax, VA 22033-2895, by email to fairfaxconnector@fairfaxcounty.gov, or by phone to 703-339-7200, TTY 703-339-1608.
