Service Changes 2018

En Español

 

The final  2017 Transit Development Plan is available. 

The plan outlines service changes aimed to better align DDOT resources with growing activity centers and improve the reliability of DC Circulator service.

The major service changes involve reconfiguration of two routes and the addition of regular late-night service between McPherson Square and Union Station, as well as a proposed fare media change to eliminate the use of DC Circulator-exclusive paper passes. DDOT expects the proposed changes to be implemented in April 2018.
