Fairfax Connector is proposing service changes for implementation in June 2016. Proposed improvements target high-ridership corridors, as well as the Stringfellow Road Park and Ride expansion along I-66, which is scheduled for completion this spring.
The proposal includes:
Begin weekend service in Centreville and Chantilly on routes 630, 640, and 650 to improve transit connections and reduce traffic congestion on I-66;
Improve weekday rush hour service between the Vienna Metrorail station and expanded Stringfellow Road Park and Ride to reduce passenger crowding;
Implement minor route modifications on routes 422, 463, and 651 to provide more direct service; and
Eliminate Route 734 in response to low ridership and alternate bus service available along the majority of the route.
Routes included in the proposal are 231, 232, 310, 401, 402, 422, 424, 461, 463, 466, 556, 574, 605, 624, 630, 634, 640, 644, 650, 651, 724 and 734.
