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.
