In many cases there will not be a subway stop next to the Interstate. However, there are solutions. For example, in Maryland, the last stop to Metro’s Red Line is the Shady Grove Station. This Metro station is approximately 3 miles away from the Intersection of I-270 and I-370. At this intersection there is approximately 65 acres of unused State owned land. This is an ideal location for a Park-n-Rail garage.

The Metro Red Line will simply be extended from the current Shady Grove location to I-270/I-370 via above ground and elevated rail. This will now be the final stop for the Red Line.

In the future, the Red Line could continue into Virginia, under the Potomac River and onto Dulles Airport. See Park-n-Rail Reference Guide for details.
