CUE Transit Development Plan
The City of Fairfax is evaluating its CUE Bus service. The CUE Transit Development Plan was last updated in 2016, and we’re now updating the plan to guide how we operate CUE for the next ten years. We asked riders (and non-riders) to tell us about their travel habits on CUE and what their top priorities are for the CUE bus system.
We wanted to hear how CUE can better meet your needs, even if you haven’t ridden the bus yet. A survey closed Feb. 26. Thank you for sharing your candid feedback about CUE. We know you’re busy, and we appreciate your time. Watch the March 4, 2025, city council work session(External link) where the survey results were discussed.
Background
A transit development plan is a planning document that helps CUE and the city identify goals, evaluate existing conditions and additional needs, and identify ways to meet those needs in both the near- and long-term. A transit development plan is also required by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation to obtain operating and capital funding or the CUE Bus service, and the plan must be updated every five years.
Many city plans are relevant to the city's transit goals and are being reviewed as part of the plan update.
