[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current budget for WAMTA is $5 billion for fiscal year (FY) 2025. WAMTA is now requesting additional taxpayer funding under a Proposal called DMVMOVES with four proposed spending levels. Option 1 requires an  average of  an additional $608 million per year (for FY26-FY35) just to complete the bare minimum level of maintenance. Option 2 is requesting an additional $719 million per year for slightly improved service. However, option 3 and 4 are still TBD and will require additional billions each year for expanded service. Does it even make sense to increase metro funding at this point due to the rising prevalence of remote work and considering the failure of the silver line? I’m concerned that at this proposals to increase the number of metro stations will result in a significant burden on taxpayers and have minimal impact on overall ridership levels.
