Metro seeks input on the East Capitol - Cardozo Line (Route 96, 97) Service

Riders, transportation agencies, to discuss service issues, potential solutions

Metrobus will hold a community meeting in Ward 7 in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, Nov. 28, to discuss the East Capitol - Cardozo Line (96/97) Service Evaluation Study. The meeting is a part of ongoing studies to improve Metrobus service on some of the region’s most heavily used bus lines. At the meeting, the project team will discuss preliminary findings and potential service improvement concepts.

Riders are encouraged to attend the meeting to provide input on 96/97 service. The meeting will take place:

6 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 28
Capitol View Library
5001 Central Avenue SE
Washington, DC

All members of the public are welcome. The format of the meetings will be “open house,” where participants can come by at any time between the beginning and end of the meeting to offer their input. No advance registration is required. Metro hopes that the open format will promote a direct dialogue between Metrobus riders and project staff, and that the absence of a meeting schedule will appeal to those who have only a few minutes to participate.
