DC Circulator Service Termination Information

On Monday, July 29, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the start of the planned phase down of DC Circulator service beginning October 1, 2024, culminating with service ending December 31, 2024.

1 Rosslyn-Dupont Circle (RS-DP) route will be terminated.
2 Late-night service on Woodley Park-Adams Morgan (WP-AM) and Georgetown- Union Station (GT-US) routes will be terminated.
3 Remaining routes will operate on 20-minute headways.
4 Woodley Park-Adams Morgan (WP-AM), Georgetown-Union Station (GT-US), Congress Heights-Union Station (CH-US), and Eastern Market – L’Enfant Plaza (EM-LP) routes will end service at 9 pm daily.
