[MD-Sligo] FW: Metro wants your feedback on FY2021 budget, including expanded hours, fare and service changes

[Deborah]

Here is information about testifying about WMATA fare and service changes.  The way these changes can affect people is very individual, and I have not checked to see how easy it is to find out how it can affect each person, such as which bus routes will be affected.  I have also not checked the fare calculator to see how easy it is to use.  Unless you are a MetroAccess user who uses MetroAccess rarely and can ride bus and rail free for most of your trips, this will affect you in some way.

Subject: Metro wants your feedback on FY2021 budget, including expanded hours, fare and service changes

Metro is inviting the public to comment on its proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget, which aims to improve service and fare options, support ridership growth, and manage costs for the transit agency. Metro’s budget year begins July 1.

Significant safety and infrastructure investments in recent years helped fuel a Metrorail ridership increase of 20,000 trips per weekday in 2019, with on-time performance reaching its highest level in a decade. Metro’s proposed FY21 budget aims to continue that momentum while modernizing the system to continue to attract new riders.
