WMATA announced today that it is relocating the headquarters for MetroAccess, the transit agency's service for disabled customers, to new offices in Hyattsville, Md. The office will relocate to 6505 Belcrest Road, near the Prince George’s Plaza station, on Friday, August 28. Due to the move, Metro is warning MetroAccess customers that they might experience delays in service or getting through to the call center if there are technical difficulties during the move. While customers can typically book MetroAccess rides by phone, Metro is recommending booking online during the transition to avoid any call center-related problems. The office that handles MetroAccess eligibility will remain at Metro Headquarters at 600 5th Street NW. More information on the transition can be found here. more ›
