The DC Council's Committee on Transportation voted to move the bill forward. What will it mean for DC residents?
DC residents are one step closer to receiving a $100 Metro stipend each month.
The bill would also set aside $10 million annually toward improving Metro service since, as Allen put it this afternoon, “reducing the cost of public transit is not helpful for transit and commuters if the service is not reliable.” “We’re not just giving WMATA a big check. WMATA only gets this fare money if people use WMATA,” Allen told Fox 5 News.
. “The language in the bill just says that we’re going to make this a priority as our revenue grows,” said Allen. “It won’t impact spending on any existing programs.“It’s not cheap, but the repayment to us as a community will be more than worth it,” said Ward 3 Council Member Mary Cheh at today’s meeting.Everyone who lives in in DC would be eligible, regardless of their income, according to Allen.
