Metro is getting ready to launch the Better Bus Network Redesign, which is the first comprehensive redesign of Metro’s bus service in its 52-year history. The new network, which will go into effect on June 29, will better connect people to where they want to go, provide more frequent and consistent bus service, and make our service network easier to understand. We have been briefing elected officials, jurisdictional partners, community based organizations, and our bus customers on the upcoming changes for the past few months. Ahead of Launch Day next week, we are hosting a final virtual briefing on the new network, on Monday, June 23 from 12:00PM-1:00PM, for those who were unable to attend our prior briefings throughout the months of April and May.
In the virtual briefing we will provide:
- An overview of the new network in Maryland, Virginia, and DC,
- Information about our community engagement process, which informed the development of the new network, and
- Critical resources you can share with constituents to assist them in planning their trips.
Please RSVP by confirming your attendance to Reem Rayef, at rrayef@wmata.com by Friday June 20. A Teams invitation will follow. Please feel free to forward the appointment to include colleagues who can best help spread the word and respond to outreach from constituents.
