WASHINGTON, DC — The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) are asking residents to help enhance bus service in their neighborhoods. WMATA and DDOT are conducting a comprehensive Neighborhood Circulation Study to ensure all District neighborhoods have the proper surface transit service to support mobility and accessibility.
The DC Neighborhood Circulation Study has four primary goals:
- To identify current deficiencies in neighborhood transit connectivity.
- To improve local bus services to enhance neighborhood circulation and connectivity.
- To identify new neighborhood services that will enhance circulation and connectivity.
- To complement the long-range growth of DC’s transit system.
WMATA and DDOT understand residents are critical to the success of the study and they want to hear from you at one of the four public meetings scheduled this month.
