L'Enfant Plaza is a transfer stop on DC Metro (Silver, Orange, Blue, Green, Yellow), with 4 elevators and 31 escalators in the published inventory. This page shows whether those elevators look usable right now, using the same Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) feed as the live map.

On the Silver Line, the previous stop is Smithsonian and the next is Federal Center SW. If the elevator here is out and you can ride one more stop, check those stations or the live map before you go.

At this stop, “accessible” only holds when the elevators are working. It also matters which exit each one reaches.
