SafeTrack Surge #15 will run from May 16
through June 15, 2017. For this surge project, the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) will close the New Carrollton,
Landover, Cheverly, Deanwood and Minnesota Ave stations and run free shuttle
buses between affected Orange Line stations to the closest Blue/Silver Line
stations. Service outside this line segment will function as normal and Orange
Line trains from Stadium Armory Station will be diverted to the Blue Line.
WMATA will provide free shuttle service to and from closed stations
and increase trips on Metrobus F12, between Cheverly and Landover, and on F13
between the Cheverly and New Carrollton Stations.
Prince George’s County TheBus System will provide a
free direct express shuttle between the Landover and Morgan Boulevard Stations
every 15 minutes during weekday peak periods, from 6:00 am to 10:00 am and 3:00
pm to 7:00 pm.
DPW&T shuttle passengers should “tap” their Smartrip card on TheBus
farebox to ensure that they receive any rail credits offered by WMATA.
