CCVT - Chantilly and Centreville mostly, Vienna, Tysons, upcoming Fairfax Connector changes. In other words, western Fairfax County west of Fair Oaks Mall mostly, smaller changes to nearby Fairfax City and GMU and areas of Vienna and Tysons.

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connec...service-review - refer to other links on this website for service maps, etc. Board of Supervisors approved changes on January 23, 2024. These changes are coinciding with the opening of the Monument Commuter Garage in April 2024 with 8 bus bays with 15 different routes, 820 free parking spaces, and other amenities - https://twitter.com/ffxconnector/sta...87767051764081

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connec...1_draft-v6.pdf with route maps, destinations, days of week, time of day, and service frequencies. Specific pdf bus timetables as far as I can find on the internet right now are not yet available. Someone please post link to them when you find, probably by March or the first part of April.

Some summary of changes:
* Overall rush hour commuter transportation to Vienna Metro, much of it there, but some changes including focus on park and ride lots including the new garage above.
* Limited off-peak and weekend transportation to Vienna Metro, only two routes on I66 instead of four. County found most outside of rush hours passenger trips are local trips west of the Fair Oaks Mall and closeby surrounding areas.
* Some new destinations served, see route sheets link above and service maps links below.
* Cutting altogether of very low usage route segments, less than 5 passengers per run - Poplar Tree Road is one. There are shorter ones. Again see route sheets link above and service maps links below.

Here are the final UPDATED system maps and route sheets from 2023 with changes to be implemented in the near future for CCVT Centreville, Chantilly, Vienna, and Tysons. These include other areas of the county too, so you will need to scroll down to the relevant pages for the CCVT changes.

Breaking alert paraphrased - Due to a job action and work stoppage taken by the ATU Local 689, which represents Fairfax Connector drivers and mechanics, Fairfax Connector not running today except very limited service on heaviest used routes 401 and 402. Please use alternative methods of travel.

Abyone know the status of the new Monument Drive I66 Commuter Parking Garage and Transit Center? Per Twitter link URL in the original post above, it was set to open in April, and that concurrently reading some tine back was when these western Fairfax County Connector bus service chsnges were to take effect. An Advanced Google Search for tne last month turning up nothing, but maybe using the wrong the AI search terms. Reading a Reddit post elsewhere, construction on the garage is near 99 to 100 percent done. Did the 2-3 week Connector strike a few weeks ago delay things? Or anything to do with the county $284M FY25 budget deficit being discussed in current public hearings has anything to do with it? Someone in Fairfax County Government, needle in haystack, has to know. Any word anyone know of?
