Excited about the Silver Line opening? You could be one of the first to ride the new line by entering a sweepstakes sponsored by Metro.
On Thursday, Metro announced that it will randomly select 10 winners who will participate in the July 26 grand opening ceremony and ride on the first Silver Line train.
Each winner and a guest will receive reserved seating at the opening event, a ride on the first train, and an unlimited Metrorail one-day pass for travel to and from the inaugural activities.
