The
public is invited to a forum to discuss the expansion of Ride On service for Tobytown,
a smaller, isolated community in Potomac located south of River Road.
The
proposed route will add new stops, as well, in North Potomac and Rockville. The
suggested routing encompasses River Road, Travilah Road, Piney Meetinghouse
Road, Glen Road, Darnestown Road, Wootton Parkway, Great Falls Road and Middle
Lane to the Rockville Metro Station. The route will provide transportation to
local schools, Shady Grove Hospital, libraries, shops, eateries and other
transportation services. It will operate seven days a week, from 6 a.m. to 7
p.m., running every 75 minutes. The regular Ride On fare for this route will be
$1.75.
The
forum will be held on Thursday, July 28, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. in the All-Purpose
Room at Travilah Elementary School, 13801 Dufief Mill Road, North Potomac. As
with all of Ride On’s public forums, it will be an interactive opportunity for
staff to hear directly from potential customers. All comments and feedback from
attendees will be considered before a final decision is made regarding this bus
service.
