Patriots in the City
WELCOME BACK GMU! We’re excited to have you in Fairfax City and invite you to see all that we have to offer when you study at George Mason University. From arts to live music and restaurants, you’ll find yourself right at home in Fairfax City.
Not sure where to go? We’ve asked GMU students what they love about Fairfax City and have highlighted activities and attractions in a new video series, “Patriots in the City”. For our first video, we’ve followed Student Government President, Camden Layton and Student Government Vice-President, Adia McLaughlin as they visited their favorite places to go when they’re not on campus. We’ll release a new video series each quarter so be sure to like, tag, and check back with us.
Go Patriots!
E-Scooters in the City
Have you taken an e-scooter for a spin in the city yet?
Dockless electric scooters officially arrived in the city on July 8th. They’re a great way to ride around your neighborhood, visit a favorite city business, or get to a meeting.
If you’re new to scootering, don’t forget to visit our city site https://www.fairfaxva.gov/government/public-works/transportation-division/dockless-mobility for riding techniques, rules, and etiquette. The city is also hosting a community event on Sunday, July 14 in the upper parking lot of Old Town Square so that you can practice and learn more about the program.
The rumors are true…ELECTRIC SCOOTERS are coming to Fairfax City starting July 8. 🚨 🛴
Fairfax City will be permitting three scooter companies operating on a pilot-trial basis (Lime, Bird and Spin); riders will need to download the company’s app before they can operate the scooter.
The city will be hosting a series of “scooter rodeos” in the city neighborhoods this summer to help residents get familiar with scooters and learn how to download and use the app.
If you have general questions or comments about the City’s dockless mobility program, please visit fairfaxva.gov/dockless for details, or email [email protected].
NOTE: City transportation team will be monitoring several things during this dockless mobility pilot program including (but not limited to) safety and accessibility, compliance with the rules, and mobility impacts and benefits.
Rock the Block is just around the corner!
Don’t forget, this year we will be giving out FREE Rock the Block t-shirts for the first 20 people that return a copy of their Rock the Block Backstage Pass verifying they made purchases at 3 or more of the 12 businesses featured on the pass during the week of Saturday, May 25 through Saturday, June 1.
Passes can be emailed to our Office of Economic Development at [email protected] or sent to 10455 Armstrong St., Suite 316, Fairfax, VA 22030. Another bonus, each recipient of a t-shirt will be entered in a drawing to win a $500 gift card that will be selected at the end of the concert series in November!
