After more than two years of repeated requests and follow-ups, the bus schedule was finally updated on 07/041/2026 on the website, but without any communication or notification to the residents who have been actively advocating for this change. Collectively, we sent approximately 240 emails to Loudoun County officials and the Leesburg Mayor’s office, yet there was no direct response or engagement; the update was made quietly.

While the removal of one Loudoun Gateway stop is a positive step, the core issue remains unaddressed. The route still includes approximately 19 stops within DC, which is the primary reason commute times continue to stretch to nearly two hours from Union Station to Leesburg. This does little to alleviate the daily burden faced by commuters who are already spending close to four hours each day traveling.

Please continue helping to spread awareness, and thank you for your ongoing support.

Dear Supporters,

I wanted to provide a quick update on our effort to restore direct "express commuter bus service" between Leesburg and Washington, DC.

On May 4th, 2026, about 45 days ago, I sent a detailed letter to Mayor Burk outlining the challenges faced by commuters, including commute times exceeding two hours each way, overcrowded buses, rising transportation costs, and the need to reevaluate express transit options for Leesburg residents.

Since then, more than 250 residents have contacted Town and County officials to voice similar concerns and request action. This level of community engagement demonstrates that this issue affects a significant number of residents and deserves serious attention.

Unfortunately, despite the growing public interest, there has been little visible progress. I have not received a response or acknowledgment from the Mayor's office regarding my original letter.

Today, again I sent a follow-up request asking for an update on whether the Town has engaged County leadership on this issue and whether there are plans to support further evaluation of "express commuter service route" options.

This effort is not just about convenience. Reliable commuter transit impacts traffic congestion, quality of life, economic development, workforce retention, and the ability of residents to access employment opportunities throughout the region.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send emails, share the campaign, and raise awareness. Your voice matters.

If you have not yet contacted Town and County officials, please consider doing so. Continued community engagement is essential to ensuring that this issue remains a priority and receives the attention it deserves.

Together, we can advocate for practical transportation solutions that better serve Leesburg and Loudoun County residents.

Thank you for your continued support.
