15 work surgesThe SafeTrack plan details 15 “safety surges” that Metro says will help accelerate maintenance on the rail system. Remember this is a draft plan, and Metro officials have yet to provide specifics about traffic mitigation and alternate travel options. Some officials in the region, including Montgomery and Fairfax, have said they would work to add suburban bus service where needs. For those traveling after the evening rush, that would mean earlier-than-usual track work. Metro announced a plan to fix its infrastructure, which will disrupt service for hundreds of thousands of commuters.
