County may lose bus funding

Fairfax County

Last month, Virginia Department of Transportation officials informed county staff that, starting in fiscal 2011, the county will no longer receive the $6.6 million in funding for its express bus service in the Dulles corridor. The funding has been coming from Dulles Toll Road tolls, and the state is in the process of transferring ownership and management of the toll road to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

According to Supervisor Cathy Hudgins (D), the state had previously agreed to continue funding the buses until Reston's Wiehle Avenue rail station opens – now expected to be in 2012. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted Monday to ask the airports authority to continue setting aside money for the bus service until the rail station opens.
