D.C. Metro Service Will Not Resume Tuesday Morning As Transit Agency Monitors Hurricane Sandy

Metro Makes Announcement About Tuesday Service

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced Monday afternoon that regular Metrorail and Metrobus service will not resume Tuesday morning. The transit agency will assess the weather situation on Tuesday morning and restore service only when it is safe to do so.

Details from WMATA:

  • Metrorail and Metrobus service will not resume service Tuesday morning. An announcement on when service may be restored will be made after Metro is able to assess damage and weather conditions in the morning. Metro personnel will need to perform a comprehensive damage assessment, including inspections of track, bridges, aerial structures, stations and facilities. Metrorail service restoration is also contingent on adequate commercial power to support operations and repair of any storm-related damage. For Metrobus, service restoration will vary by route and depend on road conditions.
  • MetroAccess service will remain suspended all day Tuesday.
