WMATA Bladensburg Bus Garage

The Bladensburg Bus Garage sits on 17.59 acres bounded by Bladensburg Road NE, 25th Place NE, Douglas Street NE, and the CSX railroad line. Today, the facility is one of Metro’s oldest assets and home to some 260 buses and support vehicles. The reconstruction of the garage will modernize the facility, preserving a historic landmark while drastically improving essential bus operations and maintenance. At completion, the project will have a new operations and maintenance building to service 300 buses with parking accommodations and a multi-story employee vehicle parking garage, including a CNG yard and fueling facility with sustainable infrastructure, such as stormwater retention and solar power generation capacity. In addition, the project is planned to have battery electric bus infrastructure to be consistent with the Metro’s zero emission bus plan.
