Metro budget proposal could bring big changes to transit system
Big changes could be coming to Metro after new General Manager Randy Clarke unveiled his first budget proposal.
WASHINGTON - Metro officials are set to hold an emergency board executive meeting on Sunday, according to an official release.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) said in a release Sunday morning that the board is set to discuss, "safety and security matters when premature release would compromise public safety."
The release did not provide further details on the topic of the meeting.
The news comes after Metrorail Safety Commission sent a letter to WMATA detailing issues with the transit system's safety and train operator training requirements.
