Free Service on Local and Paratransit Bus Services Begins January 2

Beginning January 2, 2025, Loudoun County Transit bus services will be free for all local and paratransit services. The Board of Supervisors approved the fare-free initiative during the Board's May 29, 2024, Transit Summit to promote transit ridership and ensure accessibility for all Loudoun County residents.

Paratransit Service in Loudoun County

Loudoun County Transit provides prescheduled, origin-to-destination paratransit services for eligible people who cannot use public transit because of a disability. Paratransit service is also free starting in January. The service area is within ¾ of a mile from Loudoun County's local bus service. For more information, including how to apply for service, visit loudoun.gov/paratransit.

Commuter Bus Service

The elimination of fares for local and paratransit bus services do not impact Loudoun County's commuter bus service. Earlier this year, the county announced changes to the commuter bus service routes and fares. More information on the commuter bus service changes can be found at loudoun.gov/BusChanges.

As part of the county's continued efforts to improve service, Loudoun County Transit is considering future transit initiatives highlighted in the Board of Supervisors' Transit Summit.
