At this week’s Board meeting, we recognized Metro Bus Operator Vonetta Mack for her quick thinking and courage in saving a customer’s life.  When the customer began choking aboard her bus, Operator Mack safely pulled over, administered the Heimlich maneuver and called for emergency assistance. Her fast, decisive actions ultimately helped save the customer’s life. Please join us in celebrating Operator Mack for her selflessness, compassion, and commitment to the safety and care of our customers.

Hear from Danny, a Metro customer who said goodbye to his car and made the switch to public transit. He’s never looked back.  For him, Metro offers a dependable, reliable, and affordable way to get where he needs to go.  Look for his picture throughout the system as part of Metro’s Wall of Fame campaign, which celebrates loyal customers who make Metro part of their everyday journeys.

From a simple office district to a neighborhood with more reasons to stay after work — National Landing is evolving, with Amazon’s 2.1 million SF HQ2 helping drive the transformation and Metro connecting it all. Since 2019, the area around Crystal City station has added 2,582 homes (and counting!) and more than 340,000 square feet of retail, bringing more places to live, dine, shop, and explore near transit. The next chapter includes turning outdated office space into new destinations: 2200 Crystal Drive is being converted into 195 homes, while 2100 Crystal Drive will become two hotels with a combined 336 rooms. That’s transit-oriented development in action — bringing homes, jobs, and everyday destinations together within easy reach of Metro. And with a second station entrance scheduled to open in spring 2027, Metro is helping this growing, increasingly mixed-use neighborhood stay connected.

Metro Rail will open early this Sunday at 5 a.m. to help thousands of runners and spectators get to the starting line of the 51st @Marine_Marathon, one of the region’s most celebrated annual events! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️    Arlington Cemetery will open at approximately 9 a.m. and Pentagon Transit Center will remain closed until 4 p.m. with bus detours that will continue through 7 p.m. No exits to the run will be available at Pentagon City or Arlington Cemetery.
