New Park and Ride Lot to Open Monday

A new park and ride lot serving western Loudoun transit riders will open on Monday, August 1.

The Harmony Park and Ride Lot at Scott Jenkins Memorial Park is located at 39464 East Colonial Highway just east of the Town of Hamilton. The lot contains 250 parking spaces and features solar lighting. Two bus shelters and a canopied waiting area provide passengers weather protection while waiting to board the commuter bus.  The lot also contains five charging stations for electric vehicles.   
 
Commuter bus service to the lot will be provided by Loudoun County Transit (LC Transit).  Buses will depart between 6 a.m. and 7:25 a.m. and travel to Rosslyn, the Pentagon, Crystal City and Washington, D.C.  Tysons Express bus service will be expanded to include passenger pickup at the Harmony Park and Ride Lot on August 1. Four buses heading to Tysons Corner will depart between 5:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m.     
 
The Harmony Park and Ride lot will replace the lot at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, which will close at the end of the day today, Friday, July 29. New commuter bus schedules can be viewed at www.loudoun.gov/bus, or you can call 703-771-5665 for more information.
