WMATA ordered an additional 212 Orion Vs in 2000. These came with more reliable signs than the 1997 models, but they were replaced with Twinvision orange LEDs as well. After operating from just about every division at some point during their lifetimes, these buses were retired in 2019, marking the end of a 27 year span in which the Orion V was a part of the Metrobus fleet.
