Metro News Release

For immediate release: February 20, 2014

Metro seeks input on the Oxon Hill Area Metrobus Services (Route D12,13,14, NH1, NH3, P17,18,19, W13,14, W15, and W19)

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

Metro will host two community meetings on Tuesday, February 25, at the Oxon Hill Library and Thursday, February 27, at Forest Heights Town to discuss the Oxon Hill Area Metrobus (Route D12,13,14, NH1, NH3, P17,18,19, W13,14, W15, and W19) Service Evaluation Study. The meetings are 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 either meeting to provide input on the Oxon Hill Area Metrobus services:

Tuesday, February 25 - 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Oxon Hill Library
6200 Oxon Hill Road
Oxon Hill, MD 20745

Thursday, February 27 - 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Forest Heights Municipal Building
5508 Arapahoe Drive
Forest Heights, MD 20745

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 and 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.
