[Nfbv-fairfax] Metro - Public Hearings - January 30, 2017

[John Bailey]

This is a reminder regarding the upcoming public hearings on January 30, 2017.

Please note that there will be no advance registration to speak (registration will be onsite at the hearing).   Written statements can (preferably) be submitted through a freeform comment box within the online survey (see instructions below), or can be submitted to the Office of the Secretary.  Anyone sending an email to writtentestimony at wmata.com<mailto:writtentestimony at wmata.com> will receive an autoreply giving them instructions on how to submit their comments for the public record.

HOW TO SUBMIT TESTIMONY NOT AT THE PUBLIC HEARING - Testimony may be submitted via a survey on Metro's operating and capital budget, found at wmata.com/budget<http://www.wmata.com>. The survey will open by 9 a.m. on Saturday, January 14, 2017 and will close on Monday, February 6, 2017 at 9 a.m. You will be asked to respond to questions about Metro's proposed FY2018 budget.   The survey will also provide the opportunity to submit freeform comments. This option is in addition to your ability to speak at a public hearing.    For those without access to computers or internet, testimony may also be mailed to the Office of the Secretary, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001.   The survey results, along with mailed written statements and public hearing comments, will be presented to the Board and will be part of the official public hearing record. Please note all statements are releasable to the public upon request, and may be posted on WMATA's website, without change, including any personal information provided.
