Fairfax County is planning a major expansion of Capital Bikeshare along the I-66 corridor—and your input can help shape where new stations go.
The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) will host a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 p.m. to gather community feedback on proposed bikeshare locations in the Providence, Braddock, and Springfield Districts. FABB strongly encourages everyone who bikes—or wants the option—to attend and weigh in.
Why Bikeshare Matters
Capital Bikeshare plays a critical role in making biking more accessible across our region. For many in our community, bikeshare is:
- A first and last mile solution for getting to Metro and bus stops
- A convenient option for short trips, errands, and social outings
- A way to try biking without owning a bike
- A reliable backup when other transportation options fall short
With more stations in more places, bikeshare becomes even more useful—helping people make the shift to healthier, more sustainable transportation.
About the Proposed Expansion
FCDOT is proposing up to 17 new Capital Bikeshare stations along the I-66 Parallel Trail corridor, stretching from Fairfax/Fair Lakes to Dunn Loring.
This expansion is funded through an I-66 Commuter Choice grant from the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and is designed to:
- Improve access to the I-66 Trail
- Strengthen connections to transit and nearby destinations
- Expand mobility options in growing parts of Fairfax County
At the meeting, staff will explain how the bikeshare system works, present maps of proposed station locations, and ask for feedback on where stations are most needed.

A Growing Regional Network
Capital Bikeshare is already a vital part of the region’s transportation system, with:
- 800+ stations across DC, Maryland, and Virginia
- 96 stations in Fairfax County alone
Expanding this network along the I-66 corridor will make it easier for more people to ride—whether for commuting, recreation, or everyday trips.
Your Voice Matters
Community input will directly influence which station locations move forward. After the meeting, residents will be able to provide feedback through an online survey and other channels. If you want to see bikeshare grow in Fairfax—and ensure it serves the places people actually need it—this is your chance to speak up.
Bikeshare is a key part of a more connected, flexible, and equitable transportation system. With thoughtful expansion, it can help more people choose biking for more trips.
Join the meeting on April 8 and help bring more bikeshare to Fairfax County.
