Ride On is expanding its services to meet the demand for smaller, isolated communities. This one-year pilot program will serve the Potomac community south of River Road, adding new stops, as well, in North Potomac and Rockville. The proposed routing encompasses River Road, Travilah Road, Piney Meetinghouse Road, Glen Road, Darnestown Road, Wootton Parkway, Great Falls Road and Middle Lane to the Rockville Metro Station. The route will provide transportation to local schools, Shady Grove Hospital, libraries, shops, eateries and other transportation services. The route will operate seven days a week, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., running every 75 minutes. The regular Ride On fare for this route will be $1.75. Residents along all of these roads and surrounding areas are invited to share input about this proposed new service.
Comments on the proposed new route may be submitted in writing, by email, or by fax no later than Aug. 11, to: Division of Transit Services, Ride On Public Forum, 101 Monroe Street, 5th Floor. Rockville, MD 20850; 240-777-5800; fax 240-777-5801; and mcdot.rideonpublicforums@montgomerycountymd.gov.
