Metro 2017 SafeTrack Schedule: New Dates, Single-Tracking Info

Metro has released its new SafeTrack schedule for the remaining "Surges" between February and June of 2017, with surges resuming Feb. 11 starting with an 18-day surge on the Blue Line.

Because of the inauguration and and the potential for winter weather impacts, major work has been suspended for the month of January and through most of the first half of February, Metro said in a Thursday statement.

The SafeTrack program will end in late June, and then Metro will "shift to a regimen of preventive maintenance," the statement reads.
