Metro Forward

This year, we invited the youngest members of the Metro family to help us honor our veterans. 💙📝🚇 Their drawings and messages of gratitude became the inspiration for a specially wrapped train, bus, and Metro Access vehicle.

As these vehicles travel throughout the region, they'll carry a simple but powerful message: thank you to all who have served. We are proud to celebrate our veterans today and every day. 🇺🇸

As Veterans Day approaches, you’re going to see a specially wrapped bus, train, and Metro Access vehicle in the system starting this morning!

We’re excited to show our appreciation to our veterans across the region. Here’s a behind-the-scenes sneak peek so you know to keep an eye out! 🚇👀

Each wrap was designed using illustrations and messages from the children of Metro’s very own employees. Track them at wmata.com/live under “Special Edition.”

Thank you for your service, veterans. 💙

More neighbors. More shopping. More reasons to take Metro.

At Hyattsville Crossing, more people are calling the neighborhood home, attracted by great access to transit and to retail amenities anchored by the Mall at Prince George's. Since 2016, the area around the station has added over 2,100 homes and 310,000 square feet of retail, resulting in more Metro trips—weekday ridership is near pre-pandemic levels, while weekends have already surpassed them.

Metro has helped shape Hyattsville Crossing's growth by partnering with developers to deliver 259 homes and more than 160,000 square feet of retail on Metro property steps away from the station in 2009. One of Metro's biggest retail-focused developments across the region, it generates an estimated $9.6 million in annual tax revenue.

That’s transit-oriented development in everyday terms: more homes near shops, more customers for businesses, and more places you can get to without a car.

Whether you’re shopping, meeting friends, or heading home, it’s all connected by Metro.
