The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is proposing service changes to selected bus routes and needs your feedback. The proposal includes changes to Columbia Pike bus service in response to Arlington’s plans for a Premium Transit Network along that corridor. The premium network will connect Columbia Pike, Pentagon City and Crystal City and offer bus service that is fast, frequent, reliable and easy to use.
In partnership with Arlington and Fairfax Counties, WMATA led a Columbia Pike service evaluation study that evaluated recommendations from each county's Transit Development Plan. The agency then developed implementation plans for the portion of new bus service that will be run by Metro. WMATA is now seeking public feedback on the proposed service options.
