Because it is OBVIOUS that WMATA is in need of oversight from someone. FRA IMHO has the expertise. Why you ask? Because a Fed agency w/ Fed authority can insist on an inspection unlike the current case where WMATA has refused access to inspectors/monitors from a tripartite commission which supposedly exists to oversee safety.As to Steve's socialist claim, FRA, NTSB, FAA, et al are all government entities. Among other benefits, they attempt to decrease accidents which I see as a public good. |
