NVTA Celebrates Completion of Multimodal Center
At ceremonies May 18, the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) marked the completion of a new multimodal facility in Arlington that offers increased bus capacity, enhanced street infrastructure and improved access to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Crystal City Metrorail Station, located in suburban Washington, DC.
Arlington County Board Chair Jay Fisette, also a member of the NVTA board, joined NVTA Chairman Martin E. Nohe and other officials at the Crystal City Multimodal Center.
“With these infrastructure improvements, Arlington is making it easier and safer for people traveling to and through Crystal City—whether they are arriving by bus, Metro, on foot or by car,” said Fisette. “It’s the latest example of how the county continues to invest in Crystal City and continues to build on the community’s vision of enhanced access and connectivity.”
The new facility expands bus capacity around the Metro station with four additional bus bays that serve both regional and local routes. Improvements include rebuilt sidewalks, new crosswalks and new lighting, as well as new designated curb space for shuttles and kiss-and-ride, bus shelters and bicycle racks.
NVTA provided $1.5 million in regional transportation funds to finance the center.
