Capital Bikeshare adds stations at Addison Road and Morgan Blvd metros
New bikeshare docks at Addison Road and Morgan Blvd give Blue Line riders a quicker way to cover the last mile, linking two Metro stops to a county network now at 27 stations.
Capital Bikeshare has added new stations at the Addison Road and Morgan Blvd Metro stations, giving Prince George’s County riders another option for the trip between rail stops and the places they actually need to reach.
The new docks are aimed at everyday commuting and short local trips, especially for people coming off the Blue Line who need to reach homes, jobs, errands or bus connections without relying on a car. Prince George’s County says bikeshare is meant to give residents, employees and visitors an affordable and sustainable transportation option while connecting riders to transit across the county and the wider Washington region.
The county now has 27 Capital Bikeshare stations. That is a far cry from June 2018, when the program launched in Prince George’s County with stations at Largo Town Center Metro and the Wayne K. Curry Administration Building. Capital Bikeshare now spans 8 jurisdictions with more than 800 stations and roughly 8,000 bikes and e-bikes systemwide.
The Addison Road and Morgan Blvd additions fit into a broader county strategy built around transit access in the Blue Line corridor. County planning documents identify the Addison Road and Seat Pleasant area and the Morgan Boulevard Metro area as priority locations for transportation improvements. The county’s pedestrian access planning also says the proposed Central Avenue Connector Trail is designed to link four Blue Line stations: Capitol Heights, Addison Road, Morgan Boulevard and Largo.
That matters because the bikeshare stations do more than add recreation options. At Addison Road and Morgan Blvd, they create a practical first-mile and last-mile link for riders who already use Metro, and for nearby workers and residents who need a short trip to reach a train, a bus stop or a destination along the corridor. Existing bus service already reinforces that network: Route 24 connects Capitol Heights riders to the Capitol Heights and Morgan Boulevard Metro stations, while Route 26 runs between Morgan Boulevard and Largo Town Center Metro station.
For Prince George’s County, the new stations are another step in a transit buildout that is now tied to the Blue Line corridor’s larger transportation plans. For riders, they turn two Metro stations into more useful starting points for the trip beyond the platform.
