The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) will implement changes to select Fairfax Connector bus routes, effective May 17, 2025. These updates are part of FCDOT’s ongoing efforts to enhance service reliability, respond to rider feedback, and align with evolving travel patterns across the region.

Key adjustments include the introduction of two new routes - Route 652 and Route 670 - designed to improve connectivity and meet emerging transit demands. In addition, Route 599 will be discontinued to optimize system efficiency.

• Route 670: Fairfax Connector is excited to offer a cross-county connection from Chantilly to Franconia-Springfield. The 670 utilizes the Express Lanes on both I-66 and I-495 for a quicker commute. This service is only available during weekday rush hour.

• Route 652: This route provides enhanced bus coverage to the Franklin Farms area, connecting to the Stringfellow Road Park and Ride. The 652 will operate during weekday peak morning and evening hours, Monday through Friday.

• Route 599: This express route is being discontinued. Passengers traveling to the Pentagon and Crystal City can use Route 598, which serves both Reston South and Reston North Park and Ride lots.

• Route 353: This route has been realigned to service the new Franconia Government Center in Kingstowne, which is slated to open this summer.

Several additional routes will undergo minor service adjustments aimed at enhancing on-time performance and improving overall service reliability.
