Line Guide

Silver Line Guide: History, Schedule & Rider Tips

The Silver Line runs approximately 46 miles from Ashburn and Dulles International Airport through Tysons, Reston, downtown DC, and into Downtown Largo in Maryland — here is everything you need to plan your trip, understand the schedule, and ride like a local.

History of the Silver Line

The Silver Line opened in two phases: Phase 1 launched July 26, 2014, adding five new stations between East Falls Church and Wiehle-Reston East through Tysons. Phase 2 opened November 15, 2022, extending 6 more stations to Ashburn and Washington Dulles International Airport — a project nearly two decades in the making.

The line transformed Tysons from a car-dependent edge city into one of Northern Virginia's most transit-accessible destinations. It also delivered Dulles Airport's long-awaited rail connection to downtown DC.

Getting to Dulles Airport (IAD)

Washington Dulles International Airport station is an above-ground station next to daily parking garage 1, linked to the Main Terminal by the existing pedestrian tunnel with moving walkways — no shuttle bus is needed. It opened November 15, 2022. From Metro Center, the trip takes approximately 55 minutes and costs $2.25–$6.75 depending on time of day.

Rider Tips

Riding the Silver Line Like a Local

✈️

Dulles in 55 Minutes

From Metro Center to Dulles Airport is ~55 minutes and costs the same as any Metro ride. Add 15 minutes to reach your gate from the platform — Dulles is a big airport. Total door-to-gate time from downtown: ~70 minutes.

🛍️

Tysons Without a Car

Tysons, Spring Hill, and Greensboro stations all access the Tysons corridor malls with no need for a car or parking fees. The Silver Line transformed Tysons into Northern Virginia's most accessible shopping destination.

🔄

Check Platform Signs

Silver Line trains share platforms with Blue and Orange lines in DC. Always check the digital destination signs on the platform — not just the train color. A train showing "Largo" could be Blue or Silver.

🅿️

Best Parking Options

Wiehle-Reston East has a large multi-level garage that fills later than stations closer to the city. Herndon and Reston Town Center also have better availability after 7:30 AM compared to Wiehle.

🌃

Reston Town Center Nights

Reston Town Center station drops you in the heart of Reston's restaurant and bar scene. The walk from the station is zero — the platform exits directly into the plaza. Perfect for dinner without driving.
