Metro seeks input on Pershing Drive-Arlington Blvd Metrobus service (Routes 4A,B,E,H)

Customers, transportation agencies to discuss service issues, potential solutions

The meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 6, has been postponed due to weather.  The meeting will now take place on Wednesday, March 16.

Metro will host two community meetings to discuss the Pershing Drive–Arlington Boulevard Line Service Evaluation Study.  The meetings are part of ongoing studies to improve Metrobus service on some of the region’s most heavily used bus lines.

At each meeting, the project team will discuss preliminary findings and potential service improvement concepts.  Customers are encouraged to attend the meeting to provide input on Metrobus 4A, B, E, H service.

The two meetings will take place:

Thursday, March 7, 2013
5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
Arlington Assembly of God Church
4501 N. Pershing Drive, Arlington, VA 

Wednesday, March 13, 2013
5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
Arlington Temple United Methodist Church
1835 N. Nash Street, Arlington, VA

All members of the public are welcome.

The format of the meetings will be “open house,” where participants can come by at any time between the beginning and end of the meeting to offer their input; no advance registration is required. Metro hopes that the open format will promote a direct dialogue between Metrobus riders and project staff, and that the absence of a meeting schedule will appeal to those who have only a few minutes to participate.

For more information about the Service Evaluation Study, or to give Metro your feedback in a survey about the lines currently being evaluated, please visit the Metrobus Studies website.
