Despite receiving federal stimulus dollars, Metrorail and Metrobus may still curtail their services.
Metro’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget eliminates 22 stations with low ridership or are located close to other stations. Three of those stations are on the Red Line. They are Grosvenor-Strathmore, Judiciary Square and Cleveland Park. Turnbacks would return at the Silver Spring and Grosvenor-Strathmore stations.
Prior to adopting the budget, Metro’s board of directors is seeking input from the public through March 16. Commuters are urged to take an online survey which is available in English and Spanish. Comments can be made by phone at 844-468-5748.
There will be four virtual public hearings on March 8 through March 10. They will be streamed at wmata.com/budget and on Metro’s YouTube page, YouTube.com/MetroForward.
