WMATA Relocates C11 Bus Stops on Indian Head Highway

WMATA plans to relocate bus stops along Indian Head Highway serving the C11 route, transit officials said. The changes take effect September 10, 2025, though specific stop locations and the number of stops affected weren't available by publication time. Officials said the relocations will impact passengers who regularly use the route between Southern Avenue Station and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.

Context and Background

Transit agencies typically relocate bus stops to improve safety, enhance accessibility, or better serve changing development patterns along major corridors. Indian Head Highway, designated as Maryland Route 210, is a major arterial road where stop placement affects both passenger safety and service efficiency. WMATA hasn't publicly disclosed the specific reasons for these relocations. Transit agencies often make such changes to meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements or to reduce conflicts with traffic flow, according to Federal Transit Administration guidance.

Key Details

Officials haven't released details about which specific stops along Indian Head Highway will be relocated or where the new stop locations will be. The number of stops affected wasn't available. WMATA hasn't said how many daily riders use the affected stops or provided maps showing the new locations. The agency designated the changes as affecting the C11 route, which operates between Southern Avenue Station and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, but additional route details weren't immediately available.

Timeline and Implementation

The relocations are scheduled for September 10, 2025, according to transit officials. WMATA hasn't said when it'll release detailed information about the new stop locations or whether riders will receive advance notification before the changes take effect. The agency didn't provide information about whether community input was sought for the relocations or how the decision was made.

Rider Impact and Information
