The Purple Line is a 16.2-mile light rail transit line with 21 stations that will extend from Bethesda in Montgomery County to New Carrollton in Prince George’s County. It will provide a direct connection to the Metrorail Red Line at Bethesda and Silver Spring; Green Line at College Park; and the Orange Line at New Carrollton; as well as all three of the MARC rail lines and Amtrack’s Northeast Corridor at New Carrollton. This project will serve the existing dense residential neighborhoods, attractions, and employment and education centers by providing faster, more direct, and more reliable service.
