50 Years of Connecting Communities: The Legacy of Ride On

For 50 years, Montgomery County’s Ride On service has been an essential part of the community, providing reliable and accessible public transportation to residents and visitors alike. Since its inception, Ride On has grown to become a cornerstone of the county’s transit network, connecting neighborhoods, supporting local businesses, and enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals. This milestone offers an opportunity to reflect on the service’s evolution, its impact, and the future of transit in Montgomery County. 

Ride On began as a modest local bus service, created to meet the transportation needs of a rapidly expanding suburban population. Over the decades, it has evolved into a comprehensive transit system, with routes spanning urban centers, residential neighborhoods, and key commercial areas. The service has continually adapted to the changing landscape of the county, expanding routes, increasing frequency, and implementing innovations to improve the rider experience.

The impact of Ride On extends beyond transportation. It has been a driving force for economic development, helping workers reach their jobs, customers access businesses, and students travel to schools and universities. For many, it is more than just a bus ride, it is a vital link to opportunity. Local employers have benefited from the system’s reach, as reliable transit options contribute to employee retention and punctuality, while businesses enjoy greater foot traffic from riders exploring new areas of the county. 

Ride On’s commitment to accessibility and sustainability has been at the forefront of its mission. The service has progressively integrated features like, wheelchair ramps, and audio announcements to ensure all riders, regardless of mobility, can travel with ease. In recent years, the fleet has begun transitioning to electric and hybrid vehicles, reducing emissions, and supporting Montgomery County’s ambitious environmental goals. This shift not only lessens the system’s carbon footprint but also aligns with broader efforts to promote sustainable living and combat climate change. 

Community engagement has been a pillar of Ride On’s success. The service regularly solicits feedback from riders, collaborates with local organizations, and participates in public forums to understand and address the evolving needs of the community. This responsive approach has fostered trust and loyalty among passengers, many of whom have relied on the service for decades. 

Looking ahead, Ride On remains committed to innovation and service excellence. Plans are in motion to enhance route efficiency, integrate with emerging transportation technologies, and further expand electric vehicle adoption. The future promises an even more dynamic and interconnected transit system, one that continues to serve as a lifeline for the community while adapting to the challenges and opportunities of a growing region. 

As Ride On marks half a century of service, it stands as a testament to the power of public transportation to transform lives and communities. The system’s enduring success reflects the dedication of its operators, planners, and county leaders, as well as the resilience and support of its riders. While the modes of transportation may evolve, the mission remains the same: to keep Montgomery County moving forward, together.

"What Drives You" March Madness! Ride On Contest Choosing Weekly Winners in March

March Madness has hit Ride On's "What Drives You" contest! To celebrate the excitement of the coming season, Ride On is selecting weekly winners in the What Drives You contest throughout March. Share your story with us to be one of our weekly winners!

In 2024, Ride On launched the "What Drives You" campaign aimed at amplifying voices and stories of riders. The special campaign collects rider experiences powered by a series of monthly contests. One of our selected winners was Deepti, who, along with her family, utilizes Ride On to reduce her impact on the environment.

"Ride On drives me...wholly and solely! I have wanted to do my bit to reduce my carbon footprint. As part of that, I sold my car in October of this year and am now car-free. Before I took the final plunge, I did a trial run for 9 months to see if I could survive without a car. During that period, I relied solely on Ride On to commute to work. The trial run made me realize that being car-free was absolutely doable, and to boot I realized that I enjoyed taking the bus."

"Since I sold the car, we rely on Ride On to run our weekly errands as well. My 8-year-old son absolutely loves taking the bus, more so than he did riding the car. We use bikes for last-mile connectivity, but it's mostly the bus that we rely on. Thank you Ride On...we literally can't do without you!"

In our 50 years of service, Ride On has touched the lives of millions of riders. People have used the service to help them get to schools to earn degrees, get to work to provide for their family, go to medical appointments, and go on countless adventures across Montgomery County. We'd love to hear the story of how Ride On has impacted your life for the better!

Breaking Barriers: Women Driving the Future of Transit, From Rails to Roads

Women's History Month is a time to celebrate the contributions of women who have shaped our world, and their impact on the transportation sector is undeniable. While often overlooked, women have been instrumental in building, operating, and advocating for transit systems that connect communities and drive progress. From the early days of streetcars to the cutting-edge innovations of today, women have been at the forefront, paving the way for a more accessible and equitable future.

Historically, women's roles in transit were often confined to support positions. However, their influence extended far beyond the expected. During World War II, with men away at war, women stepped into traditionally male-dominated roles, operating streetcars and buses, proving their capability and resilience. These contributions were crucial in maintaining vital transportation links during a critical time.

Today, women are breaking down barriers in all aspects of transit. They are engineers designing advanced infrastructure, planners creating sustainable transportation networks, operators driving buses and trains, and leaders shaping policy. Their presence is transforming the industry, bringing diverse perspectives and innovative solutions to the table.

The Impact of Women in Transit:

• Improved Safety: Studies have shown that women often prioritize safety concerns in transit planning and operations, leading to safer and more secure systems for all.
• Enhanced Accessibility: Women's advocacy has been crucial in promoting accessible transit for people with disabilities, the elderly, and families with children.
• Increased Equity: Women are driving efforts to ensure that transit systems serve the needs of all communities, particularly those who rely on public transportation the most.
• Sustainability: Women are championing sustainable transportation solutions, such as electric buses and expanded bike and pedestrian infrastructure, to reduce environmental impact.

Spotlight on Montgomery County, MD:

Montgomery County, Maryland, is a prime example of women's growing influence in transit. Ride On and its connection to the Washington Metro system are vital lifelines for residents. Women are actively involved in every aspect of these systems, from management and planning to operations and maintenance.

• Ride On Bus System: Women are employed as bus operators and supervisors, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of Ride On. Their dedication to public service is essential in providing reliable transportation for residents.
• Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT): Women hold leadership positions within MCDOT, influencing policy decisions and shaping the future of transportation in the county. Their expertise in areas such as transit planning, traffic engineering, and pedestrian safety is crucial in creating a safe and efficient transportation system.
• Advocacy and Planning: Women are also active in local advocacy groups, pushing for improvements to transit infrastructure and advocating for the needs of riders. Their voices are vital in ensuring that transit systems meet the needs of the community.

The contributions of women in Montgomery County and beyond are a testament to their dedication and expertise. As we celebrate Women's History Month, let us recognize and honor the women who are driving the future of transit, making our communities more connected, accessible, and equitable. Their work is essential in building a sustainable and inclusive transportation future for all.

Interview With Operator Antonio Lucas

What is your name and position? My name is Antonio Lucas. I'm a bus operator out of the Gaithersburg Depot.  Why did you become a transit operator? I became a transit operator in 2016. I was working as an electrician, and they were having layoffs. So, my idea at the time was to get my foot inside the county in some way, shape or form, but once I started driving as an operator for Ride On, I really loved the job. I love my co-workers and I love helping people. This was the perfect job for me, so I ended up staying in the idea of eventually moving up within transit services.

What’s your favorite part about being a transit operator for Ride On?

I think it's the feeling of being able to be there for people because some people don't have an automobile or vehicle to get back and forth to work. So being able to be there for people, seeing the joy on someone's face when they arrive at their destinations and seeing rider’s reactions on how I operate the vehicles in a safe manner really makes my day.

Being an operator with Ride On, what would you say the atmosphere is like within the Ride On family?

That's another reason why I decided to become a transit operator with Ride On and not transfer anywhere else. I love the interaction with my coworkers and there are a lot of good people within the management team. I know quite a few drivers that go out their way for the customers. The operators here are genuinely good people and I love surrounding myself with people that care. This is the only job that I've ever worked for where the employees are just genuinely great people.

What are some of the things that you have seen Ride On do for their operators to show appreciation?

Ride On does a lot for the operators. We have a transit rodeo that a lot of the operators attend with their families. We have Christmas parties every year. Ride On does a lot for the operators. I think a lot of operators are happy to work for Ride On.
