Greater Seneca Transit Network (GSTN) will launch Ride On extRa service along the Great Seneca corridor. MCDOT developed the GSTN as a near-term bus transit solution to provide direct, safe, and affordable transportation connections in the area which includes Shady Grove Metro, King Farm, Crown Farm, Rio, Kentlands, Adventist Shady Grove hospital and the Universities of Shady Grove as well as limits within the City of Rockville.

The first of two phases will include two routes referred to as Pink and Lime routes. The project includes new, upgraded transit stations, dedicated bus and bus plus bike lanes, transit signal priority, new roadway connections, upgrades to transit centers, as well as pedestrian and bicycle improvements. These transit services will provide frequent and reliable connections within the overall network.

This new Ride On extRa service will provide frequent and reliable connections to key area destinations including Shady Grove Metro, Crown Farm, Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center, Johns Hopkins University, the Universities at Shady Grove, Rio and Traville Village Center.

This project will expand mobility for bus riders and bicyclists, increase access to jobs, education and healthcare, better connect neighborhoods and businesses, and help boost economic development in a vibrant live/work community.

The project launch date is September 8, 2024. Please contact Transit Services with your ideas, questions and comments by emailing [email protected]
