Meet Sergeant Hodge, honored with a Meritorious Service Award for his leadership in numerous high-profile arrests. Under his direction, officers in his unit were able to track an armed robbery suspect from the Wheaton Metro Station and make an arrest. He excels in making connections with local partners and supporting officers in building partnerships with local agencies such as the Metropolitan Police Department and Montgomery County Special Assignment Team. “We help each other,” he said. “Using technology, like our camera systems on buses and trains.” “The hard work by officers in my unit directly contributed to my success as a supervisor,” he added.

Metro's Art in Transit program invites artists/artist teams with a demonstrated history of completing complex, permanent, public art projects to submit their qualifications for a permanent public artwork for the Dupont Circle Metro Station’s iconic North Entrance. The selected artists will develop an aesthetically attractive, site-specific public artwork that captures WMATA’s mission, and reflects the artistic, cultural and/or historical interests of the surrounding communities. The public artwork is to be implemented on the sloped surface within the circular opening of the North Entrance escalator well and integrate elements of biophilia.

Last week, Metro’s Occupational Health & Wellness (OHAW) team and the Advancing Women of WMATA (AWOW) employee resource group hosted two “P.I.N.K.I.E.” parties in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. Team members donned pink socks and explored booths that featured fun giveaways and essential information on breast health, self-exams, and annual check-ups. For those unable to attend, the pink socks were still a hit, with many employees sending in photos to show their support for the cause. A big thanks to Metro Wellness and AWOW for coming together to create such an engaging and informative event! #BreastCancerAwareness #wmata

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.

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.
