Currently, the Federal Transit Administration has jurisdiction on oversight of Metro: Safety for rail passengers should be the number one goal of Metro. With todays NTSB recommendations it is clear that Metro is falling short of that goal and more aggressive oversight to change the culture at Metro is needed. I will work with my colleagues in Congress as we move forward on the next steps following these important NTSB recommendations. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
