Red Line rider Mike first made us aware that Metro employees were parking in the Kiss & Ride parking spots at Takoma station, leaving true kiss and riders with few options. Mike followed up with Metro, and today he got an email from a Metro police sergeant, which read:Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There will be an officer out there ticketing the vehicles today. If this problem continues please feel free to contact me directly at the following listed numbers or e-mail address.
We look forward to seeing if this stops the abuse once and for all.

Metro employees continue to park in Kiss'N'Ride spaces. This morning there was a silver Toyota parked in a Kiss'N'Ride space at Takoma station. There was a Metro employee vest on the dashboard. DC tags, number CU-0930.
Can you please tell Metro employees to stop abusing the system by parking in spaces that are supposed to be reserved for your customers?
Thank you.
And this was the response I received:
