    The Alexandria Transit Co. (DASH) has announced that they are only a week away from reaching their milestone of carrying 5 million King Street Trolley riders since the service started in 2008.

    As part of celebrating this milestone, DASH, along with the city of Alexandria and Visit Alexandria, will be on the lookout for the 5 millionth rider who will be boarding one of the trolleys on Wednesday, September 9, sometime between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Alexandria’s Mayor Bill Euille and DASH Board Chairman Paul Abramson will be among the City, DASH, and Visit Alexandria officials who will be waiting at the Market Square to congratulate the lucky customer. The 5 millionth rider will also be bestowed with a number of exciting gifts. DASH is urging all trolley riders to take advantage of this exciting time and hop on board to experience the fun of the free King Street Trolley and take your chances at being the lucky winner.

    “It could be you,” exclaimed DASH’s General Manager Sandy Modell. “So, come aboard the King Street Trolley on Sept. 9 and join in the celebration of the success of the King Street Trolley and this milestone.”
