This post is part of a series highlighting the ART bus routes throughout Arlington County and how both residents and visitors alike can take advantage of the ART bus system.

Other ART routes currently included in this series: ART 45, ART 43, ART 62

Next up in our ART Bus Series is the ART 51, which is a convenient way to travel from Ballston to Virginia Hospital Center and to Lee Harrison Shopping Center. The ART 51 route is once again a great alternative to driving.

On this route you will pass through one of my favorite spots, Lacey Woods Park. This park has all kind of sporting and picnic facilities including basketball courts, nature trails, open green space and more. Definitely worth a visit and if you have a little one, he/she is sure to love this park!

This route specifically services Virginia Hospital Center, which offers exceptional care and service to all its patients; it has also been named one of America’s 100 Top Hospitals®. The Hospital Center is a leading example of all the benefits a Gold Level Employer Champion offers and is a long-time partner of Arlington Transportation Partners. If you are like me, new year = new health and fitness goals. Which means it’s time to look for health and fitness classes like yoga, Pilates and Zumba. Did you know that Virginia Hospital Center offers a variety of classes at both their locations, George Mason Drive (main building) and the Carlin Springs Campus – Urgent Care Center. Happy exercising!

ART 51

Urban Villages Served – Ballston and Lee Highway

Route Timings – The ART 51 operated by Arlington County with support from Virginia Hospital Center-Arlington runs every 30 minutes during weekday rush hours. In its constant effort to provide the best service to its riders, ART has modified its Severe Weather Policy with 3 levels of service: Limited, Severe and No Service. During severe weather the ART 51 only operates between Ballston Metro Station and 19th Street to serve the hospital. For detailed information on severe weather policy please click here!

Pro Tip: Look for the blue snowflake! Bus stops that are in operation during severe weather conditions have a blue snowflake in the upper corner of the bus stop. Not all bus stops along a specific route will be in service during severe weather conditions, so look for the snowflake.
