The Loudoun County Transit Plan is under development - see the project website http://www.loudouncountytransitplan.com. The FAQ page has information on how the transit plan relates to the CTP update.

The 2007 Planning Commission has made recommendations for changes to the draft CTP. A draft CTP map reflecting these recommendations is available on the documents page of this website. The draft now awaits Board of Supervisors action. The Board has indicated that they will have a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to determine a plan of action for the draft CTP. Please monitor the calendar of the Planning Commission on www.loudoun.gov for up-to-date information.

Countywide Transportation Plan Update -

What can we do about through-traffic? How long will the Route 7 improvements make traffic conditions better? What can be done to improve the Leesburg Bypass during peak traffic? How can we slow traffic through our small towns? What can bus and/or rail transit do to ease future congestion?

The Loudoun Countywide Transportation Plan is being updated to answer these and many other questions about Loudoun’s future transportation system. The plan update will address a variety of planning, growth, and transportation issues in the County, such as:


  • Transportation and land use plans of surrounding communities that affect Loudoun County
  • Recent and proposed comprehensive plan amendments that could alter future traffic levels
  • The need to look at unique corridor transportation issues including congestion, current and projected future travel patterns, feasibility and alternatives to increase capacity, and ways to reduce travel demand such as transit, carpooling, telecommuting and alternative land use patterns.
