Your new Silver Line stations coming soon with a new Metrorail map

Metrorail's iconic map is getting an update with the addition of the six new
Silver Line stations. Beginning today, you'll start to see new maps rolling out
in stations, trains and transit centers, featuring Reston Town Center, Herndon,
Innovation Center, Washington Dulles International Airport, Loudoun Gateway and
Ashburn. Also on the new map, Potomac Yard Station is shown as a future station.

Changing the map is no easy feat. With more than 5,000 maps in stations and
trains alone, Metro is getting a head start now for what will take more than a
month to replace every map in the system in preparation for opening. Digital
maps and Metro's website will be updated upon the opening of the Silver Line
extension.

New station names, approved by Metro's Board of Directors will also be
reflected on the new map - Downtown Largo (Largo Town Center), Hyattsville
Crossing (Prince George's Plaza), North Bethesda (White Flint), West Falls
Church-VT removing UVA from the secondary name and Tysons (Tysons Corner).

The map's original design was created more than 40 years ago by graphic
designer Lance Wyman and was revised by Wyman for the opening of the first
phase of the Silver Line and the extensions' completion. Over the decades,
millions of people have navigated Metrorail using the simple but classic map
showing all six rail lines - Red, Blue, Orange, Silver, Green and Yellow -
crossing the region with crisp, clean lines.

Printing has been underway for weeks, as Metro prepares for the opening of the
Silver Line extension. Maps of various sizes, fare tables, and customer
brochures are all being updated.

Metro is in the final stages of preparation for the opening of the Silver Line
extension, which will link the rail system to Washington Dulles International
Airport and Loudoun County for the first time. Simulated service will begin
next month, and this week Metro's Board of Directors gave General Manager and
Chief Executive Officer Randy Clarke the authority to accept the project upon
completion of certain conditions that must be met by the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority, and safety certification that includes
concurrence from the Federal Transit Administration and the Washington
Metrorail Safety Commission. Metro management, working closely together with
local bus operators who will provide local connections and other partners, will
then set a date to begin service.
