Metro releases schedule information for 2017 SafeTrack surges

Metro today released schedule information for the remaining SafeTrack surges between February and June 2017. Surges will resume February 11 with an 18-day surge on the Blue Line.



Major work that impacts rush-hour service had been suspended during the month of January due to the inauguration and the potential for winter weather impacts.



The SafeTrack program will conclude in late June, after which, Metro will shift to a regimen of preventive maintenance.
