WMATA Adds Bus Stop on Indian Head Highway

WMATA riders on routes C11 and P97 will have a new boarding option starting Wednesday, September 10. The transit agency's adding a northbound bus stop on Salisbury Drive (Stop ID #3004579), located 41 feet north of the intersection with Indian Head Highway. The new stop features ADA-compliant pads that meet federal accessibility standards.

Accessibility Improvement

The stop addition follows completion of ADA-compliant boarding pads at the location, transit officials said. The improvement's part of WMATA's ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility across its bus network. Federal regulations require transit agencies to provide accessible boarding areas at all bus stops, and the new pads ensure riders using wheelchairs or mobility devices can board safely. The agency's been systematically upgrading stops throughout its service area to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Routes and Service Details

The new stop will serve routes C11 and P97, providing better access to Indian Head Highway for passengers in the area. WMATA issued an advisory effective from September 10, 2025, through September 30, 2026, though officials didn't specify why the advisory extends over a year for a single stop addition. The stop's positioned to improve service for passengers using these bus routes, transit officials said. Route C11 and P97 riders should look for the new stop beginning September 10.

Implementation Timeline

The new bus stop takes effect Wednesday, September 10, 2025. WMATA completed construction of the ADA pads ahead of the opening date, officials said. The agency typically installs signage and shelters before activating new stops, though officials didn't specify what amenities will be available at this location. The advisory period runs through September 30, 2026.

Rider Information

Passengers using routes C11 and P97 should watch for the new stop starting September 10. WMATA encourages customers to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive travel updates about service changes. Moovit provides real-time bus arrival information for WMATA routes, helping riders track when their bus will arrive at the new Salisbury Drive stop.
