Fairfax to seek key grant on Tysons circulator

Fairfax County will look to the Obama administration to fund a shuttle system needed to ferry rail riders to and from four new Tysons Corner Metro stations.

The federal grants, announced this month by the U.S. Department of Transportation, represent one of the best chances for funding a circulator system in the sprawling business hub. The planned network of buses or shuttles is considered critical to hopes of luring commuters away from their cars and unclogging an area that now boasts the region’s worst traffic.
