It actually would make some sense given that federal money is taking on more and more of the funding for the systems ...Actually not, FTA capital matching grants for new construction over the last 20 years have gone down as a percentage of the total cost. The first roughly 30 percent of WMATA's miles were funded at 80% federal 20% local split. Most recent splits have gone the other way 60% local 40% federal. Some were built with little or no federal funding. The second phase of the Dulles Corridor metrorail Project (WMATA's N Route Silver line) will be built with no federal capital matching grants.
