The 1st question is: did the Wolf Trap or the Redskins shuttles consume any subsidy?

The 2nd question is: does a private carrier want to do the service?


The answer to 1 is leaning towards yes based on the information on the table. If so, and the subsidy is not provided entirely by the team, then it has taken resources from the rest of the bus system.

The answer to 2 is murky, because while private carriers have first dibs, some of the stadiums are trying to powerplay the private carrier. Under the FTA rules, that could leave the stadium with nothing, as the agency cannot run if a private carrier wants to provide the service. I believe that this is what is playing out with the Seahawks.
