Typical Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations have a platform, shelters, benches and fare vending machines. The platforms for the stations will likely be around 200 feet long. The stations will be more substantial than a bus stop, but not the size of a Metrorail station. There are no new park and ride lots planned for the Purple Line stations, although there is existing parking at the current Metrorail Stations where the Purple Line connects.

Stations for the Purple Line LPA would be at the following locations:

• Bethesda Metrorail Station
• Connecticut Avenue/Chevy Chase Lake
• Lyttonsville
• 16th Street/Woodside
• Silver Spring Transit Center
• Fenton Street/Silver Spring Library
• Dale Drive (under study)
• Manchester Road
• Arliss Street
• Gilbert Street
• Takoma/Langley Transit Center
• Riggs Road
• Adelphi Road/UMUC
• UM Campus Center
• UM East Campus
• College Park Metrorail Station
• River Road
• Riverdale Park/MD 201 & MD 410
• Riverdale Road
• Annapolis Road
• New Carrollton Metrorail Station

In the upcoming months, the Purple Line Project Team will have meetings to discuss issues related to each station such as, pedestrian accessibility and what amenities the community would like at the station.
