When there's a disruption on Metro, getting accurate information to customers is a team effort.   See how Rail, Bus, Police, Power, & Communications teams work together to verify info, coordinate service, & deliver updates in real time via Metro's Integrated Command & Communications Center.

Keeping your ride on track! 🚆 Over the weekend, our crews replaced crossties on the Orange Line. Crossties are beams that support the rails & help keep tracks stable. When older crossties are replaced, trains can operate on a more stable track, helping deliver a safer & more comfortable journey.

Today, @wmatagm.bsky.social and Metro Transit Police Department leadership shared fiscal year-end crime data, reflecting an all-time low in FY25 that continues to trend down! 🧵

Our team was hard at work on the Orange Line, installing & securing new rail ties. 🟠 Ties act as the foundation of the rail system, making sure rails are the correct distance apart, & support the weight of trains. Replacing them before they wear out is a key part of keeping Metro safe & reliable.

Our dedicated crews put a lot of work into cleaning our stations…including the parts you don’t see! Trash thrown behind the parapet wall can increase the risk of fires and attract critters 🐀❌ Help us keep stations clean by disposing of garbage in trash cans located on platforms and mezzanines.

Have you noticed the stunning artwork at Potomac Yard station? 🌸💙 We’re thrilled to share that this installation has been nominated for a CODAWorx award, and we need your support! VOTE NOW️: codaworx.com/projects/a-f...

This week, Metro hosted middle schoolers from around the region for our inaugural Discovery Day program, giving students a behind-the-scenes look at our operations! Students met transit pros, explored career paths, and learned how public transit drives community efficiency and growth. 🧵

This weekend, in addition to Red Line summer construction (now through September 6), our team will resume work on the Orange Line, causing trains to single track between Vienna and West Falls Church. 🟠 🧵

Plan ahead! To make vital improvements, we must conduct major work. This includes the current 2026 Red Line summer construction, 2026 Green Line winter single-tracking, and upcoming 2027 maintenance across the Orange, Silver, Blue, and Red lines. 🧵

Weekend ridership is booming! As Metro delivers service for the region especially during major events, there are fewer opportunities for weekend outages — 30% decrease since 2023. Our maintenance work must adapt to growing weekend demand while continuing to keep the system safe & reliable.

Metro is strengthening how it monitors, manages, and responds to maintenance issues across the system. We’re focused on using technology to monitor and quickly respond to assets in our system. Centralizing our efforts equals reliability and better service delivery for customers.

The path to world-class transit is investing in modern, automated systems. By installing partial-height platform doors, Metro will enhance safety & reliability & create a better customer experience by reducing track intrusions, limiting service delays, & helping customers feel safer on platforms.
