From teens heading to Fair Oaks Mall to all those on their way to work and everything in between, @ffxconnector is there to provide over 8 million trips and 44.4 million passenger miles. Another great example of all of the good #transit has to offer.
Today's #VTLI fellow spotlight is Jennifer Monaco, Northern Virginia Senior Program Manager for Major Investments from Virginia Department of Rail and Transportation!
#Transit benefits all corners of Virginia. Down south, @cityofdanville is keeping over 10,000 gallons of fuel of the road, with total passenger miles exceeding 900,000! Keep up the great work. What new transit projects are you most excited about?
Great: the investments in transit/passenger rail (+14% YOY ridership growth), bike/ped, & EVs is resulting in a 15%+ decline in VAs fuel consumption. Bad: the gas tax is our largest revenue source...this decline = $1.6B in reduced transportation funding over next 6 years.
Do you know #transit plays a large role in social, economic, and environmental spaces? The benefits can be shown @CityofFFXCUE's impact profile with $23.4 million in economic benefits and almost 30,000 gallons of fuel saved. What transit topic would you like us to talk about?
Today's #VTLI fellow spotlight is Jeannie Leonard, Director of Transportation from Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia!
Happy Labor Day from Virginia Transit Association! Enjoy the holiday and show some love to your transit workers! 💙
Suffolk Art League has put out a call for #artists for design submissions! If you've got inspiration, make it happen! You can apply at the link below: forms.gle/c1RX6bo65yhbVf… We can't wait to see the results from this public art initiative! 🖌️🎨🎉
Charlottesville is more than just a pretty face. It is home to @ridethecat, who continues to positively impact the community. With 3.2 million passenger miles, CAT served 1.2 million trips in 2023. What city has your favorite #transit agency?
Today's #VTLI fellow spotlight is Cynthia Johnson, Manager of Grants and Procurement from OmniRide/Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission!

Virginia's transit ridership grew 14% from 2024 to 2025 led by Jaunt, Radford Transit, Blacksburg Transit, VRE, Greater Lynchburg Transit, OmniRide, Loudoun County Transit, WMATA, Suffolk Transit, and GRTC! #VALovesTransit
Our friends over at Bay Transit are another great example of how beneficial a #transit agency is to a community. Saving 10,500 gallons of fuel and almost 904 thousand passenger miles, Bay Transit made over 130,000 trips in 2023. Let us know your hometown transit agency below!
