Both the federal government and the State of Maryland designate Friday, July 3 as the observed Independence Day holiday, meaning all state offices, including the Transit Information Contact Center, Mobility Certification and Customer Care, Reduced Fare Certification, and the Transit Store, will be closed.



Taking transit is an easy and convenient way to get to all the celebrations.

MTA recommends riders allow extra travel time due to road closures, increased traffic, and passenger volumes. Riders should also:

Purchase fares in advance on CharmPass
Plan their trip on the Transit app
Be patient and allow extra time for boarding and exiting
Stay hydrated and be prepared for high temperatures


On Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4, MTA will operate service on the following schedules:



Local Bus / Metro Subway / Light Rail:

July 3 - Sunday/Holiday Service

* Passengers should promptly make their way to the platforms after the fireworks end.
