Which WMATA stations have working elevators?+
Every WMATA rail station has at least one elevator. The list above shows every station we track, with live status pulled from WMATA's feed.
Why are Metro escalators always broken?+
WMATA's escalators are some of the longest and oldest in U.S. transit. Heavy use and aging equipment drive most outages. Report any broken escalator at /report.
