DASH to Resume Front Door Boarding and Fare Collection on March 15
DASH to Resume Front Door Boarding and Fare Collection on March 15
February 24, 2021
The Alexandria Transit Company, also known as DASH, will resume front-door boarding and regular fare collection on all buses beginning Monday, March 15.
DASH suspended fare collection and use of the front doors to board and disembark buses starting in March 2020 to reduce crowding and dwell time at the farebox for the safety of both operators and passengers. Additional policies were implemented to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, including installation of permanent barriers around bus operator seats, the addition of hand sanitizer dispensers onboard buses and by encouraging touchless electronic fare payment.

As DASH resumes fare collection at a cost per trip of $2, passengers are encouraged to take advantage of no-contact electronic payment options such as the DASH Bus app and the SmarTrip app or card. Touchless electronic fare payment eliminates contact at fareboxes and reduces the risk of spreading COVID-19.
