Survey on DDOT’s TOPP for Capital One Arena

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT), in partnership with several other government agencies, is developing a Traffic Operations and Parking Plan (TOPP) for the Capital One Arena. The purpose of the TOPP is to promote safe and efficient access to and from Capital One Arena for those traveling on foot, by bike, scooter, car, taxi, for-hire vehicle, Metrobus, or Metrorail. The TOPP will also guide how District and arena staff coordinate on event days.

We need your input on how the streets, sidewalks, and public spaces around Capital One Arena can function more safely and efficiently for residents, visitors, and businesses when there are events scheduled at Capital One Arena. Your input will help DDOT and our partner agencies develop the TOPP. The final version of the TOPP will be published on DDOT’s website and be publicly accessible.
