Description
This opportunity, administered by Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) of the Department of War (DoW), funds the operation of a continual, express shuttle bus service (Route A90) between the Pentagon Transit Center (PTC) and Mark Center Station (MCS) in the National Capital Region. The goal is to ensure reliable, efficient transportation for DoW employees, reduce traffic congestion, support environmental sustainability, and strengthen mass transit infrastructure. The program covers all aspects of shuttle service operation, including vehicle provision, maintenance, driver staffing, safety, security, and compliance with federal standards.
The cooperative agreement continues a longstanding arrangement with WMATA to provide this essential service, which is necessary due to the Mark Center facility’s lack of direct access to other mass transit options.
