Services

The NoMa BID provides a variety of services to enhance the neighborhood and support its emergence as a prime business location within the District and a desirable residential neighborhood. The BID’s services supplement – rather than replace – services provided by the District of Columbia government. In many cases, the BID acts as a liaison between the local government and private entities that are cooperating to make infrastructure and community improvements. The BID’s current services include:

Ambassador Escort Service - Upon request, NoMa BID Ambassadors will escort people to their vehicle or transit stop within NoMa BID boundaries. The program is offered seven days a week from 4 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. To request an escort, please dial 202-421-5090 at least 15 minutes prior to departure.

Beautification – The BID’s uniformed street cleaning team from Block by Block started clean the streets of NoMa seven days a week.

Public Safety – The BID staff coordinates with the Metropolitan Police Department and others to improve neighborhood safety and hosts monthly public safety meetings. The BID has street Ambassador’s stationed around the neighborhood.

Marketing – The BID operates an extensive marketing program to create and sustain public interest in NoMa. The program currently includes a website, newsletter, public relations, media outreach and events.

Community Outreach – BID resources and activities are having a positive impact on the neighborhoods surrounding NoMa including the creation of new employment opportunities for nearby residents.

Urban Planning and Design – The BID is bringing some of the best urban design and planning practices to NoMa, as the neighborhood builds out, to encourage sustainability, walkability, and create welcoming and vibrant places.
