MTA: Full MARC service on all three lines Tues., Feb. 16. Be careful Tues. morning with slick conditions.

Attention MARC Passengers-

MARC will operate a full schedule on all three lines on Tuesday, February 16.

Station parking lots have been cleared and platforms and sidewalks treated. However, the additional dusting of snow this afternoon and tonight will make for slick conditions in the morning. In addition, tall snow piles restrict vision at the intersections of driveways in lots. Please exercise extreme caution when driving to your station, parking your car, and walking to and boarding your train.

Snow piles are blocking some spots at parking lots. Many of our parking lots are ordinarily filled to capacity, so these lost spots may affect parking availability for later morning trains. Passengers at the following stations should allow extra time in the morning to drive to an alternate station if necessary: Laurel, Edgewood, West Baltimore, Germantown, and Barnesville. We appreciate your understanding that this unprecedented snowfall has presented snow clearance challenges beyond simply plowing our lots.

Thank you for riding MARC Train Service.
