Orange Line

Priority: Nutley Street to Chantilly Extension = 4
              New Carrollton to Prince George's Stadium (Bowie) Extension = 5
              Addison Road to Largo Town Center Extension = 3

Notes:

  • Western leg turns off I-66 on to US-50 in order to provide more opportunity for TOD at Greenbriar and Chantilly. The I-66 alternative would have stations at Stringfellow Road and Centreville (where it would meet the Y-Techway light rail line).
  • The Orange Line would take over the Stadium-Armory to Largo leg of the Blue Line in order to free up Blue trains to serve the Dulles and Wilson Blvd Corridors. Service on both legs of the Orange line east of Stadium-Armory would thus be reduced to one out of every four trains serving downtown.
