Loudoun County Transit Plan -

Loudoun County is looking to shape the vision of transit for years to come. Working together with stakeholders and residents, the Loudoun County Transit Plan is being developed to provide strategic analysis and recommendations for public transit service enhancements over the next 20 years. The plan will focus on three distinct phases, associated with Metrorail extension along the Dulles corridor:


  • Phase I – Pre-Metrorail expansion
  • Phase II – Metrorail to Wiehle Avenue (east Reston)
  • Phase III – Metrorail to Dulles and Moorefield Station in Loudoun

While the exact timeframes of the phases are not known at this time, the plan will establish goals and objectives for how transit will adapt to new Metrorail service and the changing needs in the county. The plan will also take into account the local conditions in various communities and propose service alternatives (new routes, hours, facilities, etc.) that enhance transit. While connections to the new Metrorail line in the Dulles corridor is central to the plan, it will also address all transit services throughout the county, including commuter, fixed route, and demand-responsive transit services. The plan will also address ridesharing and travel demand, and the coordination of land use plans with transit service. The plan will look at how to implement and fund the service proposals, as well as recommended actions and policy to help achieve the long-term vision of transit.

The calendar at right shows the major tasks in the project schedule.  A Transit Plan Advisory Committee (TPAC) was formed in early 2008 to provide input and guidance to the plan development.  The TPAC meetings are open to the public and are posted on this website in advance.  Comments on the plan can be entered on the comment page of this website at any time.

 

Please check the website periodically for updates and latest developments for this plan.
