    Today is World Autism Day! Many people with autism have a strong connection to transit, so this observance is particularly significant to us. We’re looking back on our Autism Acceptance Month event from last year & gearing up for this month’s celebration. Stay tuned for details!

    Shorter waits, faster rides. In just three years, we’ve gone from 5% to 70% of Metrorail customers waiting less than six minutes for their train. 👍

    Metro closed FY25 $120 million under budget — proof your Metro is running smarter and more efficiently. We’re reinvesting those savings to deliver safer, more reliable, and more frequent service across the region.

    We are currently single tracking on the Blue/Silver lines as appropriate animal resources respond to an apparently injured bald eagle on the tracks near Morgan Boulevard. Our apologies for delays as we work to get him/her to care. #wmata

    Nice job, #DMV! You're staying home, listening to officials, limiting travel to *essential only.* How do we know? Yesterday's ridership on Metrorail=140K 😳(that's 79% drop vs 663K same Tues last year). Normally clear 140K by 8:30am. Keep it going! By not going #wmata #covid19
