New ART Operations Contractor Selected

ART buses are operated by a private sector company under contract to Arlington County

.

Oversight of the contract, policy, administration and marketing responsibilities reside with Arlington County Transportation Transit staff. A new company was selected for this work: Forsythe Transportation (Forsythe Press Release). Forsythe’s first day running ART is today, July 1. Forsythe’s proposal to run ART was unanimously selected for several reasons including their seasoned management team, oversight and supervision strategies, maintenance experience, and best overall value to the citizens of Arlington County

  We expect to see a higher level of service as a result. Let us know how we’re doing. And welcome to Forsythe!
