The Alexandria Transit Strategic Plan (ATSP), formerly known as the Transit Development Plan (TDP), provides a comprehensive vision of future service development, fare adjustments, and capital investments for transit services within the City of Alexandria. The ATSP is based on guidelines and requirements outlined by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT).
The ATSP is updated each year by DASH (Alexandria Transit Company) and City of Alexandria staff, and is subject to annual public review, amendment, and adoption by DASH’s Board of Directors. This public comment period typically takes place in March, and the plan is approved by DASH’s at either the April or May Board meeting.
Thanks to the City of Alexandria’s support, DASH does not foresee any cuts to current services over the next year. With the continued implementation of the Alexandria Transit Vision, DASH has identified several potential improvements on Lines 32, 34, and 31 that are not currently funded.
Key proposed service updates for this budget cycle are listed below in current priority order:
|
Increase Line 32 (King St. Metro – Landmark Transit Center) frequency from 60 minutes to 30 minutes during middays, evenings and weekends. This improvement would reduce rider transfers, improve connectivity, and increase overall usefulness between the Landmark Transit Center, Van Dorn Metro, Eisenhower East, and King Street Metro. |
|
Increase Line 34 (Potomac Yard Metro – Lee Center/Southwest Quadrant) frequency from 60 minutes to 30 minutes on Sundays. This improvement would increase connectivity between South Old Town, City Hall/Market Square, Old Town North and Potomac Yard. |
|
Increase Line 31 (NVCC – Braddock Rd. Metro) frequency from every 30 minutes to 15 minutes, resulting in all trips serving the full route between NVCC and Braddock Rd. Metro. Currently, Line 31 trips alternate between a full trip from NVCC to Braddock Rd. Metro and a half trip from NVCC to King St. Metro. |
