There is no track work planned New Year’s Eve and Metro will charge off-peak fares.

On New Year’s Day, Metro will run on a Sunday schedule with trains only running from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Depending on the exact station and the direction of travel, the last trains can leave more than 40 minutes earlier than Metro’s stated closing time, so it is important to check last train times in advance.

This is the second year the system will close at 2 a.m. after the ball drops. Three years ago, the rail system ran until 3 a.m.

Washington Manassas Airport, formerly known as Manassas Regional Airport, has taken a big step toward its goal of offering passenger service. The airport, which is owned by the city of Manassas, Virginia, received its FAA Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate, a designation required before commercial airlines can begin service. 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.
