Public Input Sought on Proposed Fairfax Connector Bus Service Plan for the Herndon-Reston Area

For Immediate Release
June 26, 2020

Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) is seeking community input on a proposed plan for bus service in the Herndon-Reston area.

After two rounds of community engagement, stakeholder input and technical analysis, FCDOT has developed a proposed plan for improved Fairfax Connector bus service in the Herndon and Reston areas, including connections to the future Metrorail Silver Line Phase 2 stations. The proposed plan aims to improve on-time performance and streamline service to meet the needs of the community and commuters.

  • Some of the key improvements to the bus service in the area include new and more direct connections and routes; new connections to Chantilly, Centreville and the Dulles Corridor; service to Northern Virginia Community College (Loudoun Campus); and routes travelling from Sterling to Herndon. The plan, which also uses elements from all three of the proposed alternatives, shortens travel time, increases access for transit dependent populations, and maintains bus stop coverage at most locations.
  • The implementation of the proposed service changes will coincide with the start of the new Metrorail Silver Line service and will provide connections to the Reston Town Center Station, Herndon StationInnovation Center Station, Dulles Airport Station, Loudoun Gateway Station and Ashburn Station.

After this last round of community input, FCDOT will finalize the service plan and present it to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for approval.
