MoCo to launch microtransit pilot program in Wheaton, Glenmont

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation is launching a pilot program to test microtransit in Wheaton, Glenmont and Rockville. Riders would be able to request a small shuttle bus from designated pickup and drop-off points using an app on their phones. They would receive an estimated time of arrival for the bus.

A public hearing on the pilot will be held on Thursday, April 25, 2019, at 6:30 PM at A. Mario Loiederman Middle School, which is located at 12701 Goodhill Road off Weller Road in Silver Spring. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak, and to learn more about the pilot program. MCDOT has released these two (very blurry) maps showing the zones for the pilot.

    could be really useful for middle school and high school students needing to get around to different activities after school.

    I wonder why the Rockville route doesn't go up towards Montgomery College. This would make it convenient for MC students to go between MC and Rockville Town Center and also onto the metro.
