Waldorf Park & Ride To Receive Upgrades

A news release from the Charles County Government:

 

Beginning on Sunday, April 7, an improvement project at the Route 301 (Crain Highway) Park and Ride lot in Waldorf will begin. 

 

During construction, parking spaces will be reduced and the north end of the lot will be fenced off.  Commuter patrons who utilize this park and ride facility are encouraged to use parking areas at  South Potomac Church (4915 Crain Highway, White Plains) or the La Plata park and ride (Washington Avenue and Heritage Green Parkway ) facilities.  Both facilities have available parking.  Regency Furniture Stadium (11765 St. Linus Drive, Waldorf) has available parking for both the 901 and 906 express routes. 

 

This project will establish a separate transfer pavilion for VanGO operations for local transit patrons.  This new transfer pavilion will allow all VanGO buses to stage at the same time, and will separate local transit from commuter bus operations. 

 

Construction is expected to take up to five months to complete.  Some parking will be restored at the completion of construction.  Patrons can view commuter bus schedules, routes and stops online at  www.mta.maryland.gov.
