Hi Everyone!
If you missed the Metro hearing and/or rally on Late-Night Service Cuts, no problem! Here is a petition you can sign and send a letter directly to Metro, to ensure your voice is heard before they close the comment period on Tuesday.
Also, below you will find a list of organizations that you can get involved in to continue the movement to create a robust transportation system that serves DC residents at all hours of the day.
Once again here is the petition to send a letter directly to Metro demanding they find dedicated funding solutions, and not cut back hours or stations:
Organizations working to improve Metro Service:
WMATA Rider's Advisory Council. Contact: J. Clarence Flanders, Budget and Finance Subcommittee Chairperson, WMATA Rider's Advisory Council. j.clarence.flanders@gmail.comProject Retail: Project Retail is a growing network of current and former retail and food workers and their their supporters fighting for living ages, fair working conditions, and access to public transportation in the Washington, D.C. Area. Contact: http://www.projectretail.org/.

On Thursday, Oct 20th, metro will be holding a hearing to get feedback from residents.
Lets show up and let metro know that we need to fix the system but it should not come to the detriment of D.C. residents. We will be meeting in front of the Metro Building at 5:30 p.m. Residents are also encouraged to testify as well.
In one of the richest regions in the United States, we can find creative and effective solutions to fix our transportation system.
Our leaders should develop a "regional compact" between MD,VA,DC leaders, businesses, and advocates to say no to late night service cuts and yes to pushing for additional congressional funding (or funding that does not come off the backs of area residents).
