On December 5, 2022, the Dulles North Transit Center will close, and services will be moved to the new Dulles Transit Center Park and Ride lot located at 23200 Pacific Boulevard, Sterling, Va. The new Dulles Transit Center lot provides 1,167 total parking spaces, 23 accessible parking spaces that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, three bus bays, bus shelters with benches, and bicycle lockers.

The opening of the new lot and closing of the old lot will have the following impacts for bus passengers and commuters:

All Park and Ride lot services, such as free parking and bus service, will no longer be provided at the Dulles North Transit Center. Directional signage at the lot will inform passengers about the closures and alternative service locations, like those found at loudoun.gov/parkandridelots.
All bus routes previously serving passengers at the Dulles North Transit Center, including Routes 481, 482, 484, 486, 881, 882, 884, and 886, will now serve passengers at the new Dulles Transit Center.

New Silver Line Bus Service – Routes Began November 16, 2022

On Wednesday, November 16, 2022, Loudoun County Transit began to phase-in Silver Line Bus Service. Twenty-one new Silver Line bus routes provide weekday service to and from 156 convenient local stops, including Loudoun County Park and Ride Lots and Silver Line Metrorail Stations.

Due to a nationwide bus driver shortage, the county will initially provide Silver Line bus services on limited schedules. As a result, some routes will be served by temporary vans instead of the county’s standard transit buses. Initially, the new Routes 331, 332, 341, 342, 343, 344, 351, 373, 374, and 375 will be serviced by a Loudoun County Transit van.

In addition, the county’s contractor, Keolis, has indicated a potential for a driver strike in the coming weeks. If a strike occurs, the county’s bus services could be further impacted. Any changes to the county’s bus services will be announced as quickly as possible.

Silver Line bus routes and schedules are provided at loudoun.gov/silverlinebusroutes.
