Formula Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Application purpose: The purpose of this grant is to provide funds for the construction of multimodal transit station improvements for New Carrollton Station.
Activities performed: The project will include construction of transit station improvements for New Carrollton Station including a new train hall for the existing MARC, Metrorail, and AMTRAK service incorporating connections to Metrobus, TheBus, and Greyhound bus services and the future Maryland Purple Line light rail.
It will also make new sidewalks, bike lanes, lighting, signalization, and traffic calming improvements on Garden City Drive to access the station and improve the train hall plaza space to be more welcoming to users.
Expected outcomes: The project will improve safety by adding striped bicycle lanes, bicycle boxes, wider sidewalks, and safer pedestrian crossings and a center median on the road.
The project supports transit-oriented development in the area including access to new residential and office space that is currently under development and expected to increase ridership at the station.
The project makes transit a more attractive option particularly for the underserved community in the area by facilitating non-motorized first/last mile access to the station.
Intended beneficiaries: Residents of Prince George's County and riders of MARC, AMTRAK, Purple Line, and WMATA.
Subrecipient activities: Project will be led by Prince George's County.
