WMATA Board Members Are Coming to Reston

RESTON, VA — The WMATA Board says they've had to make some "tough choices" in the upcoming budget, and they're coming to Reston for a public forum to explain to locals why they've made some of these decisions, which include cutting the frequency of Metro trains, eliminating bus routes and increasing fares.

Virginia's WMATA Board members will be in attendance at a forum to be held Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce, which is located at 1886 Metro Center Drive in Suite 230.

"WMATA has put forward several 'tough choices' in order to balance its budget -- everything from increasing fares to eliminating bus routes to reducing train frequency," according to the announcement posted by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. "Hear from Virginia's WMATA Board Members at these two forums about the decisions they face in representing the needs of the Commonwealth and its residents."

NVTC did not provide any information about the second forum.
