| DASH Celebrates 30 Years in Alexandria, VA |
The Alexandria Transit Company (ATC), Alexandria, VA, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the DASH bus system with activities and themed promotions for each month of 2014.
DASH began service March 11, 1984, with 30 employees and 17 buses. Today, the system employs 160 people and operates with 79 buses on eight routes, as well as the free King Street Trolley between the King Street-Old Town Metrorail Station and Old Town Alexandria. The current fleet includes 20 low floor hybrid-electric buses and five hybrid trolley-replica buses.
ATC General Manager Sandy Modell credited DASH’s success over the years to its back-to-basics approach: “Clean and well maintained buses, friendly and courteous drivers, and a community-oriented service have been the recipe for our success. We have been very fortunate to hire and retain dedicated employees who understand the importance of excellent customer service and in providing Alexandria with high-quality transit service.” |
