View Photo Gallery

In honor of Earth Day, K-6 students from Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia were invited to submit 2-D artworks celebrating the role played by public transportation in creating a more sustainable environment. Of the numerous submissions, 15 drawings, paintings, and collages were selected, capturing their interpretation on the role public transportation plays in protecting our environment, combatting climate change, supporting sustainable and livable communities.

On Monday, April 22, Metro's Art in Transit program revealed three Earth Day designed buses that are wrapped in original artwork created by local budding artists. The unveiling took place at Metro Headquarters, 300 7th Street SW, Washington, D.C., and each bus was placed in service, each showcasing five artworks set up by jurisdiction.

The three Earth Day Metrobuses can be tracked here by looking for the globes under the “Special Edition” tab.
