Purple Line 
Purple Line
Stretching from Bethesda to New Carrolton, the Purple Line is a 16-mile light rail line that will seamlessly connect Montgomery & Prince George's counties, while offering a direct link to Metrorail's Red, Green, and Orange Lines, MARC Commuter Rail, Amtrak, and local & regional bus networks. The light rail will have 21 stops between Bethesda and New Carrolton, including Chevy Chase Lake, downtown Silver Spring, and the University of Maryland. Slated to open in late 2027, the Purple Line is a vital system that will move people efficiently and sustainably, while improving the quality of life across the region.
