On October 15, Metro celebrated the first anniversary of the Integrated Command & Communications Center (MICC). This state-of-the-art center brings together our rail, bus, security, and maintenance operations, enhancing incident coordination and customer communications. The MICC has centralized critical functions, from video surveillance to incident management, resulting in faster response times and improved operational efficiency. It’s a testament to Metro's commitment to delivering safe, reliable service across the region. A big thank you to everyone involved in making the MICC a success. We look forward to even more progress in the years ahead. #wmata

🚍Bus Lane Success🚍 Over the summer, the Maryland State Highway Administration teamed up with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the Montgomery County Department of Transportation to create bus-only lanes along Georgia Avenue in Montgomery County. The bus lanes increased the average number of people moved along the corridor per hour by 900. Bus speeds also increased as much as 16%. There were four fewer crashes between Glenmont and Silver Spring during June and July of 2024, compared to the same time last year. Learn more about the bus lanes and the pilot project continuing through Dec. 31 - https://lnkd.in/eT6bHq-x #Transit #Bus

Meet Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD) Officer Leo, honored with a Life Saving Award for his role in saving a fellow officer exposed to Fentanyl. Before an ambulance arrived, he acted quickly and displayed calmness when deciding to drive the officer in his cruiser to Howard University Hospital and set up a rolling roadblock with his peers. “Always go back to your training. Training is huge. In high stress situations, your training will come through and allow you to execute at a higher level,” he said. “Look out for one another. We are a team, plus we’re a family. We have a bond to protect each other. Some of my best friends are the people I work with.” Are you a team player looking to make a difference? Join MTPD.
