DCUSA by otavio_dc
Greater Greater Washington has posted the Metro stations in the DC area that have shown the fastest passenger growth and decline rates, and the results give a glimpse of how development (or lack thereof) is affecting different neighborhoods.
The top three stations in each category are listed below with percentage change and average weekday ridership. Unfortunately, Greater Greater Washington was unable to determine from the information it received whether these are monthly or yearly increases.
Growth
- Columbia Heights, 25.8% (11,325)
- Eisenhower Avenue, 17.9% (2,292)
- New York Avenue/Florida Avenue/Gallaudet, 16.6% (4,024)
Declines
- Stadium-Armory, -11% (2,989)
- Farragut West, -3.7% (22,748)
- Landover, -3.3% (2,676)
With the popularity of the DCUSA complex and the sprouting up of residential developments, it should come as no surprise that the Columbia Heights stop on the Green and Yellow lines has one of the largest increases in ridership. The second ranking of the New York Avenue stop on the Red line is an indicator of the commercial development going on in that zip code, and that homebuyers are finding deals.
We’re not sure what factors were at play for the drop off in traffic at the Stadium-Armory stop. If you have your own ideas, let us know in the comments section.
