Virginia Joins Local Leaders Asking For More Metro Funding

(DC)- Elected officials in Virginia, DC and Maryland are asking the incoming Biden Administration for more funding for Metro. This comes after Metro announced that they might need to lay off employees, close stations, and other service interruptions without additional federal funding. Officials told the President-elect that Metro provides transportation for more than 300-thousand federal workers in the D-M-V. Metro experienced a drastic decrease in ridership because of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
