ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington Transit (ART) will suspend service at 9 p.m. on Wednesday in response to public safety concerns related to the riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Buses operating at 9 p.m. will continue operating to the end of the line before going out of service. STAR Service will not begin any new trips after 9 p.m.
