SafeTrack Surge #10 Transportation Options safetrack.godcgo.com

Red Line Segment Shutdown, Fort Totten to NOMA- Gallaudet October 29 – November 22, 2016

The upcoming SafeTrack Surge #10 will begin on Saturday, October 29 and conclude on Tuesday, November 22. The service disruption will impact Metrorail’s Red Line riders with a full line segment shutdown between Fort Totten and NoMa-Gallaudet stations, and a 50% reduction in service on the west side of the line. All other Metro lines will have normal service and the Red Line service on the west side will not diminish substantially outside of rush hour.

WMATA will offer additional bus service on many routes (see reverse) and shuttle buses will serve the four impacted Metro stations. DDOT will offer Capital Bikeshare corrals at Union Station and downtown. Three DC Circulator bus routes have increased hours of operation. How Your Neighborhood Will Be Impacted During SafeTrack Surge #10, neighborhoods in the immediate vicinity of Fort Totten, Brookland-CUA, Rhode Island Ave- Brentwood, and NOMA-Gallaudet U will experience some impacts including more vehicle congestion than normal and additional Metrobus traffic.

DDOT anticipates traffic will be particularly heavy during morning rush hours (7am – 10am) and afternoon rush hours (4pm – 7pm).

We encourage you to shift your normal travel to bus alternatives and to consider biking via Capital Bikeshare or a personal bicycle. If you choose to drive, shift your travel schedule to before or after rush hour to avoid heavy traffic and crowding on transit. Flyers detailing travel alternatives for students and families are available at each impacted school and online at safetrack.godcgo.com.
