Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center
Montgomery County Government began construction of the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center, a multi-modal passenger transportation facility adjacent to the Metro station, in 2007. The facility will feature 34 bays for Metro, Ride-on Buses, Shuttle-UM, "Kiss and Ride" access, Metrorail and MARC train service. The increased capacity it provides will ease the possible implementation of the Purple Line. Completion is scheduled for late Fall 2012. The Transit Center will also mark the location for the future northern terminus of the Metropolitan Branch Trail, which heads southbound to Union Station. The transit center is named for former U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-MD).

About the center of the silent Word.”
