Ridership
DASH carries roughly 14,000 passengers per weekday within the City of Alexandria, Virginia. The AT 8 route, which runs through the Duke Street corridor, is DASH's busiest route with about 3,000 rides per weekday. In 2011, DASH ordered three new 40' Gillig hybrid buses, which are 5' longer than the rest of the DASH fleet. The new 40' buses will be used on the AT 8 route to reduce crowding.
