A parked D.C. streetcar.
A streetcar line in Northeast Washington, D.C. has been under development for years – but even though test cars are running regularly, the system still hasn’t carried a single passenger. The city recently hired a launch manager to oversee the long-awaited opening of the line on H Street, but challenging questions remain about the fate of the city’s streetcar plans. We get an update on the saga of D.C.’s vision for streetcar with WAMU 88.5’s transportation beat reporter.
