Stations and Passenger Facilities Investments
Stations and passenger facilities investments are organized into three subcategories:
-
Platforms and structures, including Metrorail station platform rehabilitation and improvements to station safety and customer experience
-
Vertical transportation, including rehabilitation, replacement, and scheduled maintenance of Metro's escalators and elevators as needed
- Station systems, including lighting, station cooling systems, drainage pumping stations and fire/life safety infrastructure
Fare Collection
This project replaces Metro's aging fare collection systems in rail stations, on Metrobuses, and upgrades the back-end system that supports fare collection. Metro will continue development and improvement of the mobile payment system, replacement of the fare machines, and assist in developing WMATA.com.
Elevators and Escalators
Metro owns, operates and maintains the largest escalator fleet in North America, requiring consistent investment to remain in a state of good repair. Metro is working to install more durable and reliable escalators that feature LED lighting and UV-C disinfection, providing a safer and smoother trip for you.
