With an average of 6,593 daily entries in 2023, NoMa–Gallaudet U was the ninth-busiest station in the Metro system and the busiest elevated stop.

NoMa–Gallaudet U is located near the intersection of New York Avenue and Florida Avenue in Northeast Washington, D.C. The station is within the NoMa neighborhood, which is both residential and commercial, and the station itself is in a commercial district on Florida Avenue. The station opened under the name New York Ave–Florida Ave–Gallaudet U on November 20, 2004, as both the system's first infill station before Potomac Yard in 2023 and the first to be built with a mix of public and private funds.
