Let your voice be heard: Vote on the exterior design for Metro’s new 8000-series rail fleet  

Customers can vote now for one of three design options. 

Voting will close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 22. The winning concept will be announced the following week.

The designs are part of a broader branding refresh that includes refined Metro logos and illustrations that reflect our heritage. With this final step in the process, customers will see a revamped color scheme in a warm palette that embraces modern design principles and pays homage to the standards set by Metro’s founding designers.

“Metro is synonymous with the DMV, and our customers take pride in the special elements that make our system unique – from the classic architecture found in our stations to the iconic look of our fleet vehicles. Who better than our loyal customers to choose the design that will adorn the trains carrying our region into the future?” said Metro General Manager and CEO Randy Clarke.

Also worthy of celebration, Metro has identified several cost-saving and efficiency measures for the 8000-series fleet program, resulting in $21 million that can be reallocated back into the Capital Program and a reduction in future operating and maintenance costs for the fleet.
