Over the last two weeks, our Wellness Team hit the road — visiting 11 divisions across the DMV in just 14 days — to support over 300 members during open enrollment!

From helping members enroll or update their 2026 health benefits, to signing up for MetLife beneficiary services, supplemental life insurance with National Group Protection, and even ordering safety glasses, they covered all the essentials. Members also had the chance to enroll in Propel, the health and wellness platform powered by 689 Moving Metro.

The wellness team kept health a priority with biometric screenings (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and BMI) and served up healthy breakfast and lunch options for bus, rail, and maintenance teams at every stop.

Connecting with our members is always the highlight. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the Wellness Tour a success!
