Capital Bikeshare in Fairfax County
From the Capital Bikeshare site: Capital Bikeshare Rolling Out in Fairfax:
It’s official: Capital Bikeshare is coming to Fairfax County in 2016! The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a plan to bring Capital Bikeshare stations to two major areas of the county this year that will increase the number of travel options for residents and commuters. Bikeshare is going to become an important part of Fairfax County’s efforts to promote bicycling and walking in the region, and helps support the county’s Strategic Plan to Facilitate Economic Success.
This year, Reston will get 15 stations in and around the Reston Town Center, while Tysons Corner will get 11 stations in the area between Route 7, Route 123 and the Dulles Toll Road. Stations in both areas will provide Silver Line Metro riders with more options to make that first or last mile of their trip by bike. Members in Fairfax can also connect with the rest of the Capital Bikeshare system across the region to make transit trips easier than ever.
County transportation staff are currently evaluating potential station locations in both areas. Stay tuned for future announcements as stations are installed and our fifth jurisdiction joins the ranks of Capital Bikeshare locations!
