major changes began in 2010, when the reston east park-and-ride closed to make way for the silver line construction. after the silver line opened in 2014, the connector modified its service, by providing three circulator routes within tysons corner, as well as new service to mclean. many routes were modified, so the connector can give access to its riders to transfer within the silver line and other portions within the county. on july 1, 2019 transdev commenced a five year contract to operate the network with an option to extend for a further 10 years. as previously mentioned, transdev (then as veolia transport) had previously operated the connector until july 1, 2009.
