Metro’s Plans During the Inauguration
Metro recently launched a handy Web page devoted to the rail and bus system’s inauguration plans. Here’s what you need to know.
By
Emily Leaman
• Starting at 4 AM on Tuesday, January 20, trains will run for 15 hours at rush-hour capacity and will stay open until 2 the next morning. On Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, trains will operate on a Saturday Holiday Service schedule.
• Metrobus will operate on a Saturday schedule on Inauguration Day. Remember: Lots of streets will be closed around the National Mall, so don’t expect bus stops near the Capitol or the Mall to be functional, and expect detours.
• The Green and Yellow lines’ Archives-Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter station will be closed all day on Inauguration Day, as will the Smithsonian station entrance on the Mall.
• Parking at all Metro lots will be free from Saturday, January 17, through Tuesday, January 20, and reserved parking rules will not be in effect.
• All restrooms in Metro stations will be closed on Inauguration Day as a security measure. Expect to see increase security in general: Metro has teamed up with TSA to bolster security in stations during the inauguration. You’ll likely see lots of bomb-sniffing dogs.

I am concerned about illegal parking in my neighborhood near Vienna Metro. A couple illegal cars can park in residents and park out emergency vehicles. Will Fairfax Police be enforcing traffic restrictions that day? I know people want to party on the big day (I do, too), but I worry about this.

But yes, buses will be on a Saturday schedule, for some odd reason. Maybe because all of the road closures?
Posted by: Emily Leaman, Dec 02, 2008 01:32:11 PM
But Metrobus is a Saturday schedule on Inauguration - that seems dumb. What seems even dumber is Metro trains operating on a Saturday schedule the day before Inauguration. There are going to be millions of extra people in town by then! Dur.
Posted by: Catherine, Dec 02, 2008 01:31:32 PM
The Saturday schedule applies to Monday, MLK day—the day before the inauguration. On Tuesday, Inauguration Day, they’ll be operating at rush hour levels throughout most of the day.
Posted by: Emily Leaman, Dec 02, 2008 01:26:03 PM
Wait, Metro is going to operate on a *Saturday* schedule on Inauguration Day? Wouldn’t they want to up their services?
