  • TO DOWNLOAD Godcgo's Toolkit for Riders
    Plan Ahead for WMATA’s Platform Improvement Project You’ve got options and goDCgo can help. Photo courtesy of WMATA GREEN / YELLOW LINE STATION CLOSURES TOOLKIT FOR RIDERS Brought to you by goDCgo WHAT IS goDCgo? goDCgo is an initiative of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) focused on reducing solo-driving trips within the District of Columbia and its surrounding communities. goDCgo encourages employees, residents, and visitors to use more sustainable, affordable, and healthy transportation options such as bicycling, walking, carpooling, and public transit. WHAT IS THE PLATFORM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT? During summer 2021, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Association (WMATA) will repair and reconstruct platforms at four stations on the Green/Yellow Line: Greenbelt, College Park-U of Md, Prince George’s Plaza, and West Hyattsville. Starting Saturday, May 29 to Monday, September, 6, 2021 there will be no Green/Yellow Line service north of Fort Totten. Green Line trains will operate between Branch Ave and Fort Totten. Yellow Line trains will operate between Huntington and Mt Vernon Square. During this time, free shuttle bus service will be available. The station closures are part of Metro’s three-year Platform Improvement Project (PIP) that will completely reconstruct the outdoor platforms at 20 Metrorail stations, making platforms safer and more accessible for customers with disabilities, while also addressing safety concerns and longstanding structural issues. To best handle the station closures, employers and commuters should prepare and educate themselves by knowing their transportation options. goDCgo’s online interactive map provides individual trip planning to help plan the quickest and most affordable route to work.
