Temporary or Permanent Use of WMATA Property and Easement Areas
Parties requesting to use WMATA property/real estate for construction and engineering related purposes must work with two different WMATA offices: Joint Development and Adjacent Construction (JDAC) and Station Area Planning and Asset Management (SAAM). The procedure for securing temporary or permanent access to WMATA-owned or-controlled properties is outlined in the WMATA Real Estate Permit Application. Please review the Boilerplate WMATA Real Estate Permit for insurance and legal requirements and prepare all required documents prior to submitting a Permit Application to JDAC and SAAM.
