Route 7 BRT

The bus route is being proposed by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission to alleviate congestion along the corridor. It would primarily run along Route 7 in Alexandria, Falls Church, and Tysons Corner. The proposed alignment would also connect to the East Falls Church station. The 11 mile route is projected to have a daily ridership of 9,500 passengers. Most of the bus route would be along a bus-only lane, but it would travel in mixed traffic in certain sections of route 7.^[3] Fairfax County will study widening part of Route 7 to accommodate dedicated bus lanes.^[4] Phase three of the project, which will identify eminent domain issues, started in June 2018.^[1]

The bus would also use the proposed West End Transitway in parts of Alexandria
