The Carlyle Shuttle will be returning on March 1st. Although everyone is not back to work yet, there are patrons in the area that can use it to get to and from the Metro/VRE and/or around Carlyle. This also gives us an opportunity to try out new shuttle routes.

The current shuttle route is highlighted in yellow. We’d like your input on where you’d like to see new stops or if you’d be interested in riding the shuttle if it went in a reverse route.

Please email thecarlylecommunity@carlylecouncil.com with your suggestions.
