Washington transportation officials warn major changes are coming for commuters who Slug home, and drivers who pick them up could be could be ticketed.
Beginning Feb. 28, Slugs who get picked up on 15th Street, between H Street and New York Avenue, will have to move to a new location to be picked up, at New York Avenue, between 15 and 14th streets in Northwest Washington.
Officials say Slugs may be picked up at the new location between 3:30 and 6 p.m. weekdays.
But drivers be warned as Metropolitan Police officers will be out to enforce Washingtonâs âno stopping, standing or parkingâ restrictions. Those who violate them will be ticketed, said District Department of Transportation spokesman John Lisle.
There are also changes coming for those who use OmniRide commuter buses.
Beginning the same day, passengers who board OmniRide buses at 14th Street and New York Avenue will have to board at the new stop at 15th Street and New York Avenue.
OmniRide will stop serving the old stop after Feb. 28, said Lisle.
Commuters with questions are encouraged to call the District Department of Transportation at 202-671-0682.
The changes come as DDOT officials held a public meeting last year and heard from Slugs about how to improve traffic flow in Downtown Washington.
The changes were set to take place earlier this year but were delayed.
