Springfield Plaza Park and Ride to Close on Jan. 31

Springfield Plaza Park and Ride will permanently close on Saturday, Jan. 31. The 75-space commuter park and ride has been available for many years and is frequently used by “sluggers” for informal carpools.  Passengers of Fairfax Connector routes 331, 332, and Metrobus route 18E will still be able to board or get off the bus at this location, but parking will not be available. 

The property owner is closing the park and ride so more parking spaces will be available for customers of Springfield Plaza businesses.

Residents are encouraged to utilize alternative parking at the following park and rides:

• Springfield United Methodist Church; 6501 Spring Road, Springfield, VA 22150; 56 spaces; served by Fairfax Connector routes 310, 321, 322, 331, 332 and Metrobus routes 18E,G,H,J,P on Old Keene Mill Road
