DASH (Alexandria Transit Company)

Who it's for

DASH (Alexandria Transit Company) serves the City of Alexandria with City bus network, fare-free for all riders since September 2021 (no senior fare needed). Metrobus/Metrorail also serve Alexandria with the 65+ Senior SmarTrip half fare; DOT Paratransit is the city's door-to-door service for residents unable to use fixed-route transit. Older adults and people with disabilities can use reduced fares or demand-response rides for medical appointments, shopping, and other essential trips. Rides are free or low-cost depending on the service.

Service areas, reduced-fare eligibility, and ride availability are set by the transit provider, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
