Early Returns Signal Initial Success for County’s “Rock Spring Activation” Project

Rock Spring Business Park
Montgomery County has started an innovative pilot program designed to transform the Rock Spring office park by augmenting transit options. The office park is home to some of the largest employers in the County.

County Executive Ike Leggett initiated a dedicated express bus service (phase one), the Rock Spring Express on Monday, July 25, from the Grosvenor Metro station to the Rock Spring office park, and the initial returns are promising. The free service runs at 10-minute intervals from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. with no stops between the two locations. The new express option supplements already existing regular Ride On bus service.
