Metro News Release

For immediate release: July 9, 2014

Metro seeks public input on the U & V Lines Service Evaluation (Routes U2, U4, U5, 6, U8, V7, 8, 9)

Riders, transportation agencies, to discuss service issues, potential solutions

Metro, in cooperation with the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), will host two community meetings on Tuesday, July 15, and Wednesday, July 16, to discuss the U & V Lines Metrobus Service Evaluation Study.

The meetings are a part of ongoing studies to improve Metrobus service on some of the region’s most heavily used bus lines. At the meetings, the project team will discuss preliminary findings and potential service improvement concepts.

Riders are encouraged to attend the meeting to provide input on the U & V Lines Metrobus services:

Tuesday, July 15 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Department of Employment Services Building
4058 Minnesota Avenue NE
Washington, DC

Wednesday, July 16 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Capitol View Public Library
5001 Central Ave. SE
Washington, DC 

All members of the public are welcome.

The format of the meetings will be “open house,” where participants can come by at any time between the beginning and end of the meeting to offer their input and no advance registration is required. Metro hopes that the open format will promote a direct dialogue between Metrobus riders and project staff, and that the absence of a meeting schedule will appeal to those who have only a few minutes to participate.
