In April 2015, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority approved the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors' name for the stop.[4]

Ashburn station is located at the median of the Dulles Greenway (SR 267) east of Old Ryan Road (SR 772). It will be the furthest station from the Washington city center, and the closest to West Virginia, being only 26.5 miles (42.6 km) by road from Keyes Gap.[2]

Station layout

The station will have two pedestrian bridges leading to either side of the Dulles Greenway, with bus bays and kiss and ride lots on both sides, as well as 1,650 parking spaces on each side. Bicycle racks are planned for both sides of the highway and five bike lockers are planned for the north entrance.
