Dupont Circle Metro Station's Escalators

The Dupont Circle Metro Station provides an excellent example of what Washingtonians call the "vertical commute" -- a steep and lengthy escalator to the street above. There are three escalators at the Dupont Circle South entrance, which are impressive in length. However, the escalators at the Dupont Circle North entrance are even greater in length. In fact, the Dupont Circle North entrance is the sixth longest continuous escalator at 188'10" within the Washington region. However, avoid using the north entrance when it rains because half of the escalator is exposed to the sky and you will get wet without an umbrella.

Bike Parking

Dupont Circle Station has 16 bike racks and 12 bike lockers. The lockers allow you to secure your bicycle and equipment in a weatherproof shed. This can save you time coming and going in the winter, as that you won't have to worry about someone pilfering your lights. Bike sharing is also available near or at this station.

Each bicycle locker is designed to hold one bicycle and bicycle gear. When you rent a locker, you are given a key to open your assigned locker. The space inside is about 1.2m (4 feet) high x 1.9m (6 feet, 5 inches) deep x 0.9m (3 feet) wide at the door and narrows toward the back of the locker. Most standard bicycles will fit inside. However, longer bicycles such as tandem bikes or some recumbent bikes will not fit into the lockers.

To rent a locker, send an email to [email protected] providing your name, address, contact phone number, email address, and station of interest. All locker rentals are subject to availability.
