More Metro Parking For Inauguration Day

Metro officials say they now will have public parking spaces available at all but one Metro station on Inauguration Day.
The transit agency had originally said it was closing the Greenbelt and Morgan Boulevard stations in Maryland and the Van Dorn Street station in Virginia to accommodate charter buses.
The Greenbelt station is commonly used by Baltimore area commuters who used Metro to get into Washington.
Limited parking was planned at the Vienna and West Falls Church stations in Virginia and the Shady Grove station in Maryland.
But Metro officials say they have received parking requests from 35 charter buses, when they had initially set aside parking for 1,100 buses.
Because of the limited demand, Metro is now offering nearly 60,000 parking spaces for cars.
Only D.C.'s Minnesota Avenue station parking lot will be closed to provide parking for Metro employees.
Metro parking lots and garages will open at 3:30 a.m. Jan. 20. It will cost $4 to park.
