I’ve been in this industry my entire career - because of the people we work with, and the people we serve. Working along side my incredible colleagues Randy Clarke @wmatagm.bsky.social and Leroy Jones is the most rewarding experience. Thanks to you both and your teams for the support!

β˜ƒοΈ recovery has been far from easy, but @dashbusva.bsky.social DASH is fully operational thanks to our dedicated team members & @alexandriavagov.bsky.social crew who worked and never stopped. Ice/snow at stops are barriers, but our friends at @wmata.com have stepped up to help us dig out!!πŸ’ͺπŸšπŸ’•πŸšπŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ

For the first time in years, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all service for Monday, January 26 due to extreme icy conditions.

With safety as our top priority, we determined that operating service would put our riders, staff, and community at unnecessary risk.

DASH begins construction on facility expansion for battery-electric bus charging Once complete, the site will be equipped to charge up to 24 buses.

So proud of our team for this major advancement, special thanks to our funding partners at Northern Virginia Transit Authority and the Virginia Dept of Rail & Public Transportation for their support of this project. ⚑️ 🚍 #transit #zeroemissions #infrastructure

The DOGE Takeover Is Worse Than You Think What’s happening to the US government right now is bad. What comes next is worse.

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

I’m no expert but from what I’ve heard this is when you are supposed to just pummel them with snowballs until your arm gets tired and then go have a drink?

I’m bad at taking action photos, and even worse at posting updates but I’m so proud of the @dashbusva.bsky.social team for todays work. We ran service despite the challenges (yes, I helped free a stuck bus and no they wouldn’t let me drive πŸ˜†) Hop on for a ride home after you finish sledding! β„οΈπŸšβ˜ƒοΈ
