The Dulles Corridor is a vital transportation link in the National Capital Region. It has long been the plan to develop this Corridor to include Metrorail. In fact, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has reserved the median of the Dulles Airport Access Highway for the construction of rail through this Corridor to provide transit access between Washington Dulles International Airport and the region.
