Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee

Metro’s Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee was created to address the needs of senior citizens and customers with disabilities. Their efforts have resulted in numerous service upgrades including the addition of between rail car barriers to alert customers who are blind or have visual impairment of the space between the rail cars as well as gap reducers which make it easier for customers who use wheelchairs to board Metrorail trains.

People with disabilities and their advocates are welcome to attend committee meetings. They are held the first Monday of each month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the lobby level Meeting Room at Metro’s Headquarters at 600 Fifth Street NW. Please call 202/962-1100 for more information.

The MetroAccess subcommittee of the Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee meets on the first Monday of every month at 4pm just prior to the meeting of the E&D committee that starts at 5:30pm. The MetroAccess subcommittee addresses issues that are specifically related to the MetroAccess service. These meetings are open to the public, and time is devoted in each meeting for public comment on any aspect of the service. All are welcome to attend.
