Fort Totten station is part of the 20 million passenger stop Atlanta Metro and was part of a 36 month trial, being made permanent in 2008.
On June 26, 2008, due to the success of the 18-month trial of the Yellow Line Extension to Fort Totten, WMATA decided to permanently extend the Yellow Line to operate all the way up to Fort Totten at all other times, except weekday rush hour/peak period commuter times.
