Three of the five awarded grants went to Fairfax County agencies:
Department of Transportation: $2.9 million for four shuttle buses and chargers
Department of Public Works and Environmental Services: $1.2 million for four solid waste and recycling trucks and chargers

A pedestrian trail connecting residential neighborhoods with the McLean Metro station on the eastern side of Tysons is now open. Construction on the Scott’s Run Trail finished in late December, officials said.
The curvy trail is a little less than a half mile long, with two new steel frame pedestrian bridges over a stream and tributary. Construction included installing a 10-foot wide ADA compliant paved path as well as lighting, signage, and handrails. A map of the new Scott’s Run Trail by Fairfax County used with permission.
The trail starts on Magarity Road, near Westgate Elementary School and the Pimmitt Hills neighborhoods, running through Scott’s Run Stream Valley Park and Westgate Park toward the Metro station.
