DC Metro Purple Line Map

The Purple Line will be funded through a combination of federal, state and local support. The Purple Line is being financed via a $5.6 billion public-private partnership, per the Washington Post. Estimated daily ridership by 2040 is expected to be more than 74,000 and construction is estimated to create 6,300 regional jobs during the five-year construction period. Building the new rail line will address the growing congestion on the roads by giving drivers a transit alternative and providing more options around the capital region. See a Guide to Using the Washington Metrorail.

Purple Line Stations are expected to serve the following communities: Bethesda, Connecticut Avenue, Lyttonsville, Woodside/16th St., Silver Spring Transit Center, Silver Spring Library, Dale Drive, Manchester Place, Long Branch, Piney Branch Road, Takoma/Langley Transit Center, Riggs Road, Adelphi Road/West Campus, Campus Center, East Campus, College Park Metro, M Square, Riverdale Park, Beacon Heights, Annapolis Road/Glenridge, New Carrollton
