  • On Wednesdays, shuttle bus transportation is available to Aspen Hill and Olney!
  • Bus schedules are available at the E&R desk, Security Office, and from our bus drivers!
  • Should conditions require a change of bus operations during a given day, that information will be carried on the TV as soon as it is received!
  • There are two different internal modes of transportation service available to residents of Leisure World.
  • The first is the Shuttle Bus Service. This mode of transportation has a fixed route and schedule to transport residents throughout the community and to Leisure World Plaza Monday through Saturday. Schedules may be obtained at the E&R Office, the Security Office, and from the bus drivers. There is no fee for this service.
  • The second is the Supplemental Transportation Service. This service is a two part operation.

Residents may be required to show L.W. identification cards. Other riders must have a valid L.W. Guest Pass.

Passengers are limited to the number of packages they can safely handle while boarding and disembarking from the shuttle bus. Due to liability and insurance regulations, drivers are prohibited from assisting passengers with their parcels.

Within the community, residents can request transportation by L.W. sedan. For a fee, service is provided to any destination within the community. For hours of operation and fee schedule call or visit the Security Office. Call Main Gate to request pick up for this service.
