Transit Workers Have Been On Strike For Three Weeks; No Agreement Reached
A strike by transit workers in Loudoun County is now in its third week with no clear end in sight.
A county spokesperson said service for Loudoun County Transit began being affected by the strike on January 11.
As of Friday, commuter buses that travel between various parts of Loudoun County and D.C. and Arlington, Va. had not been running for more than two weeks.
“We have prioritized transit services to optimize any available drivers daily, prioritizing paratransit services, local bus routes serving the Leesburg and Sterling areas, and Silver Line bus routes ahead of commuter bus service at this time,” Loudoun County spokesperson Glen Barbour wrote in an email to 7News. “The impact to bus routes and transit services continues to be updated regularly on our website at www.loudoun.gov/buschanges.
