Abstract

Metro Lines (regional). The dataset contains locations and attributes of Metro lines, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) by participating D.C. government agencies.

Lines were taken from legacy data from WMATA and fit to orthophotography and extracted planimetric data.

All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters.

METADATA CONTENT IS IN PROCESS OF VALIDATION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Purpose

This data is used for the planning and management of Washington, D.C. by local government agencies.
