The District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced Tuesday that the D.C. Streetcar service will end March 31, 2026, a year earlier than initially planned.
The city's only streetcar service is being canceled following years of low ridership. Launched in 2016, the single line route extends 2.2 miles along the city's H Corridor.
The DDOT is coordinating with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority MetroBus to provide alternatives for current riders throughout the corridor, DDOT officials said in a press release.
In May, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said the streetcar would be replaced by late 2028 or mid-2029 with an electric bus that would be charged by the same overhead wires that power the streetcar, WTOP News reported, citing The Washington Post.
