METRO MERGES PUBLICATIONS
AGENCY TO OFFER ONE-STOP, COMPREHENSIVE E-PUB

May 10, 2012

At METRO, we are always looking for ways to improve the information we give to you.

For the past several years, METRO Connections has provided subscribers with the latest news about events and programs at METRO.

METRO NewsFlash, another of our e-publications, keeps readers up-to-date on all that was happening on METRO’s light-rail expansion project.

In keeping with our commitment to provide good customer service, METRO will now combine these two e-pubs. The news will be there, but it will be faster, closer, and simpler to access.

These efforts have dovetailed with the District’s Livable Centers Plan, which is making East End neighborhoods more transit and pedestrian-friendly and Dynamo soccer fans happy as they hop aboard light rail. learn more >>
