A planned bus rapid transit service (BRT) from Tysons to Alexandria took another step forward last week, FFXnow reported.
The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) voted on Thursday to send out requests for proposals to firms interested in studying the easternmost part of the proposed Route 7 BRT from Seven Corners to Alexandria.
