Due to the success of the Hopewell Express pilot program, and a change in the shift start/end times at Fed-Ex, we have received requests to add additional times to the Hopewell Express schedule for the Fed-Ex stop. The map and schedule has been adjusted accordingly. The additional times will become effective Monday, July 7, 2008.

If there are any questions pertaining to this change please contact the County Commuter @ 240-313-2750.




MISSION STATEMENT
To provide safe, affordable, dependable and accessible public transportation that enhances the mobility of our customers.

The Washington County Transit Department - County Commuter operates all of the public transportation in Washington County. The County Commuter public transit system runs eight, fixed urban routes that originate in Hagerstown and offer service to Funkstown, Halfway, Long Meadow, Maugansville, Robinwood, Smithsburg and Williamsport. In addition, County Commuter provides transportation for the elderly and persons with disabilities through a contracted taxi voucher program, which is funded by the Statewide Special Transportation Assistance Program (SSTAP). ADA Complementary Paratransit Service for individuals with disabilities who can not access fixed-route service, along with Job Access in cooperation with the Washington County Department of Social Services, are also provided by the transit system. The urbanized fixed-route service carries the majority of the County's ridership. Total ridership averages 400,000 passengers annually.
