Posted on by

We are pleased to present the 2025 Afton Express Annual Report, which documents the commuter service’s performance, regional impact, and key initiatives from the past year. The report highlights the service’s fourth consecutive year of ridership growth, with 23,725 passenger trips recorded a 24% increase over 2024. This growth reflects Afton Express’ vital role in connecting the Central Shenandoah Valley and the Greater Charlottesville region. 

We hope you will review the Annual Report to learn more about milestones like implementing schedule optimization to better align the service with commuter travel patterns, and broader regional outcomes associated with the service, including cost savings for riders, reductions in vehicle miles traveled, and improvements to quality of life for the regional workforce. The 2025 Afton Express Annual Report is available for review here: Afton Express Annual Report

Posted on by

CSPDC is pleased to release the 2024 Afton Express Annual Report. This report highlights Afton Express performance metrics, milestones, and shares the results of the annual rider survey.

CSPDC transit staff surveyed riders from December 2024 to January 2025, and asked questions about their riding history, habits, and experiences. CSPDC staff encourages all members of the public to take the survey so they can gain insight into barriers to access, schedule preferences, and other data that can help guide service decisions.

We are proud to share that there was a 16% increase in ridership from 2023 to 2024, with a record number of 19,146 passenger trips in 2024.

CSPDC staff are excited about the ridership and the community that has been cultivated by this service and will continue to work diligently to meet the commuter needs of the BRITE service area.

The Afton Express Annual Survey is available here.
