Arlington Operations and Maintenance Facility Ribbon Cutting

December 11, 2024


Arlington's new $96.6 million Operations and Maintenance Facility (AOMF) officially opened on December 10, marking a significant milestone in the county’s transportation future. The ribbon-cutting event celebrated the completion of this state-of-the-art facility, designed to support Arlington Transit (ART) as its bus fleet continues to grow.

Located in Green Valley on South Shirlington Road, the AOMF will serve as ART’s primary hub for bus maintenance and operations. The facility, which can house up to 61 buses, includes space for charging up to 47 battery-electric buses.

The AOMF centralizes ART's operations, complementing the ART Light Maintenance Facility on South Eads Street (completed in 2017). This consolidation will enhance efficiency, improve service, and make maintenance processes smoother, benefiting the millions of ART riders each year.

Incorporating sustainability features like an underground stormwater vault, bioretention basins, and an 835-panel solar array, the AOMF is also the largest solar installation at any county facility. Its eco-friendly design reflects Arlington’s commitment to green initiatives.

This modern, three-story facility includes a parking garage for employees and is designed to provide ART bus operators with a supportive environment. This is a huge step forward for Arlington’s public transit infrastructure and its dedicated workforce.
