DC Streetcar to Add Sunday Service
In conjunction with the six-month anniversary of service on the DC Streetcar, the District DOT in Washington, DC, announced that the streetcar will add Sunday service on Sept. 18; at the same time, the streetcar will reduce its headways from 15 minutes to 12 minutes, operating with six vehicles. “With six months of passenger service complete, the streetcar is ready for the next step forward, the launch of Sunday service,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “We continue to be impressed by the ridership numbers and look forward to attracting even more people to the H Street/Benning Road corridor each and every day of the week.” The free 2.4-mile streetcar line along H Street NE serves eight stops from Union Station to Oklahoma Avenue at RFK Stadium's parking lot. The Feb. 27 opening of the line marked the return of streetcars to the district for the first time since 1962. Monthly data show that the streetcar exceeds ridership projections, transporting more than 400,000 passengers in its six months of operation and stimulating economic development, tourism and general interest along the corridor.
