The DC Streetcar is a modern, environmentally-friendly transportation option designed to connect
our District neighborhoods.
Safety is our number one priority around DC Streetcar.
Streetcars operate in the same travel lanes as other vehicles. Motorists need to use caution
when sharing the road.
Don't double park on the tracks. Streetcars can't go around double parked vehicles.
Park your entire vehicle, including side mirrors, within the solid white lines, and look before
opening car doors.
Share the road and share the responsibility for making your bike trip a safe one.
Cross tracks at a right angle to avoid falling or tire damage, or walk your bike across.
Before you ride, decide which streets to take to your destination.
Consider taking a different route, especially during rush hour.
When walking near the Streetcar, use caution.
Never cross or run in front of an approaching streetcar or between two stopped vehicles.
When waiting at a streetcar station, stand clear of the platform edge to prevent falls
and potential contact with a moving streetcar.
When riding the streetcar system, passengers need to pay attention to signs and signals,
and take caution when entering or exiting.
The launch of the Streetcar Line is a critical step to meeting the needs of local residents
and shaping the future of transit throughout the city. It offers a convenient, safe and
efficient mode of travel for residents and visitors to DC. For more information visit
