Welcome

As the Arlington Transit Bureau Chief and on behalf of all of us who work at Arlinton Transit, I want to welcome you to the new ART Blog.  We welcome your comments and suggestions about what we are doing well and what we can do to better serve you. 

As some of you may know, ARTis now clelbrating its 10th year of providing local bus service to the community.  Thanks to your support, we have grown to more than a million annual passengers in the last year.   We are excited about ART's future, and we look forward to working with you as we strive to bring you better service and more transit options.
