Effective August, 2026
DASH (Alexandria Transit) strives to provide safe, free, and reliable bus service throughout the City of Alexandria. DASH connects with Metrobus, Metrorail, Virginia Railway Express (VRE), Amtrak, Fairfax Connector, OmniRide, and Arlington Transit (ART).
DASH buses are FREE to ride.
DASH reserves the right to refuse service to any rider found in violation of our Code of Conduct, or for otherwise posing a safety risk to themselves or others. Thank you for helping keep DASH safe!
DASH is 100% free to ride! No SmarTrip cards, no apps, no exact change. Simply hop on and ride! Our goals are to serve our community, promote public transit, stimulate the local economy, and enable freedom of movement for all.
For most federal holidays, routes operate on their weekend schedule. If a holiday falls on a weekend, the weekend schedule will be in effect on the federally observed day (this fall on either the Friday before, or the Monday following the holiday).
All DASH buses display the route number and
destination above the windshield and on the sides of the bus.
Real-time arrivals can be tracked through the DASH Bus Tracker, as well as your favorite transit apps (including Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Transit App).
