The federal government can no longer be a deadbeat when it comes to operating funds for Metrorail, and I look forward to working with the new Transportation Secretary to secure appropriate federal support for the very transit system that delivers many DOT employees to work each day.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
