The Arlington County government is seeking regional funding to increase Arlington Transit (ART) Route 75 service connecting Shirlington with Virginia Square.
The $397,160 being sought as part of the Commuter Choice initiative of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission would allow peak-period, peak-direction service to expand from every 30 minutes to every 20 minutes.
Funding would come from toll revenue on I-66 inside the Beltway.
The project is one of 11 from local governments that will be evaluated for funding in coming months. Because the total value of the proposals is well below the expected $40 million to $50 million in anticipated revenue, it is likely all will be approved.
