For Immediate Release: Monday, March 2, 2020
Based on public feedback received in January about planned modifications to Ride On bus service along and around the US 29 (Colesville Rd/ Columbia Pike) corridor, Ride On has re-evaluated the originally proposed changes and postponed any final restructuring until fall 2020. This meeting is regarding proposed changes to existing Ride On bus routes and will not focus on the new US 29 FLASH bus service.
Join the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) on March 3 to learn more about how the department listened to your comments. The workshop will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Montgomery Blair High School, located at 51 University Blvd. E., Silver Spring. In case of inclement weather, the public workshop will be rescheduled to March 10. The Montgomery Blair High School is accessible.

The routes proposed for restructuring that have not been modified since the January public meeting are:
