The pilot program follows installation and testing over the course of the spring and summer. Overall, Metro is installing Wi-Fi at all 91 stations by the end of the year for internal engineering and operational use.

Metro said the pilot program will begin this month “once a new website is launched.”

The pilot includes Metro Center, Gallery Place, L’Enfant Plaza, Union Station, Judiciary Square and Archives stations.

Metro is calling this a “lite” pilot due to the limited number of stations included. If it goes well, Metro says Wi-Fi could be offered to riders at other stations in the future.

During a ceremony Monday, FAA Associate Administrator Dan Edwards presented a framed version of the certificate to airport leaders.  Edwards said it's "extremely rare" for an existing airport that caters to private flights to clear this hurdle.
