Because it is OBVIOUS that WMATA is in need of oversight from someone.Yes, I agree that it's very obvious. What does WMATA's system have to do with TriMet's LRT, though? The problem with this proposal is that instead of focusing specifically on the system that is having severe issues lately, the administration suddenly made it a national issue. Why not handle each problem at a time, especially when the problem happened right in DC's Metropolitan area! Besides, WMATA is a bi-state (with a district for good measure) agency. How many other transit agencies are set up in such a manner that aren't Port Authority services? The worst part is that any mandate made has to be completely funded by the agency at hand. |
