The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) was created by an interstate compact in 1967 to plan, develop, build, finance, and operate a balanced regional transportation system in the national capital area. Metro began building its rail system in 1969, acquired four regional bus systems in 1973, and began operating the first phase of Metrorail in 1976. Today, Metrorail serves 91 stations and has 117 miles of track. Metrobus serves the nation's capital 24 hours a day, seven days a week with 1,500 buses. Metrorail and Metrobus serve a population of approximately 4 million within a 1,500-square mile jurisdiction. Metro began its paratransit service, MetroAccess, in 1994; it provides about 2.3 million trips per year.

News
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) buildings at Eisenhower and New Carrollton have been certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Last week, the governor announced his pledge after the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, which operates Metro, projected a $750 million shortfall next fiscal year, starting during the summer.
The University’s U-Pass system came into effect in the fall of 2016 after plenty of student support. The system charges each student a one-time mandatory fee factored into their tuition. In partnership with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, the University, which was the first in D.C. to adopt the program, provides full-time students with a U-Pass card with unlimited access to the D.C. metro and bus systems.
The U-Pass system saves students plenty of money — the one-time $136 fee covers the eight months students are on campus.
