New Carrollton Metro is a Regional Transit District in Prince George’s County that is
experiencing rapid growth in transit-oriented development. Approximately 1,500 residential
units, over 1 million square feet of office space, and around 150,000 square feet of retail
are either planned, under construction, or recently built within a quarter mile of the New
Carrollton Metro Station. The station is also serviced by the Metrorail, Marc commuter train,
Amtrak, and local bus services, making it a hub for multimodal transit and a gateway to
economic centers in the region.
Despite the surge in transit-oriented development, the transit district and surrounding area
remain hard to navigate due to disconnected streets, the absence of bicycle facilities,
inhospitable pedestrian environments, and wide, auto-oriented roadways. The New Carrollton
Downtown Access and Connectivity Strategy aims to support the area’s transformation into
a walkable and connected downtown by advancing recommendations from previous studies
and offering new ideas for pedestrian and bicycle connections, crosswalk enhancements,
placemaking interventions, potential redevelopment, and street connections.
