Statements from WMSC officials:
Oof. Looking back at this quote from when WMSC released its report in Sept: Mayer said he has confidence that Metro leadership understands what needs to be done to fix the issues.
“The WMSC will pay very close attention... to ensure that the problems get addressed adequately."
Also, WMATA says the cost of the Littler Mendelson investigation was "not readily available."

Metro board all morning!

Agenda: Will they or won't they send out a ravaged service plan/budget out for public comment or wait for Congressional aid? Also a Silver Line update: wmata.com/about/board/me…

Breaking: #WMATA is proposing some of the grimmest cuts in its 50-year history. If approved, service cutbacks starting July 2021 include:
- No weekend train service
- Trains every 30 mins on each line
- Close 19 stations
- Close at 9 p.m. instead of 11
dcist.com/story/20/11/30…
- Bring back turnbacks on Yellow, Red Lines; Silver Line service only from Ashburn to Ballston
- Cut bus routes from 60 lines to 41
- Eliminating ANOTHER 2,400 positions on top of the already-approved 1,400 buyouts/layoffs. (1/3 of workforce total)

dcist.com/story/20/11/30…
This is just some of the ways Metro is trying to bridge a $500 million budget gap for July 2021 to June 2022.

All of this could change/go away if Congress approves new federal coronavirus relief funds for public transit.

WMATA hopes it will come soon.

WMSC says this happened while the person responsible for vehicle movement in the yard was watching a movie trailer. That's a big violation of WMATA's no electronics policy.
Here are the movie trailers that came out that week:

Spiral
The Jesus Rolls
Guns Akimbo
Fast and Furious 9
Minions: The Rise of Gru
Mulan
The Kindness of Strangers
Impractical Jokers: The Movie
No Time To Die
Black Widow
Top Gun: Maverick
What if the Minions trailer contributed to this crash?

An MDOT spox told DCist that while they dispute PLTP’s “right to terminate” because of an extended delay, MDOT and the Maryland Transit Administration “will work with PLTP on an orderly transition.”

MDOT and MTA remain committed to completing the project.
An utterly astounding end to the saga.

From 2016: "We’re very pleased with this contract,” Rahn said. “The companies involved are all experienced — they’re generally the largest within their fields. We’re confident we have [a team] committed to delivering this project.”

Big shoutouts to @jennygathright, @WhyBlitz and @nateclaydiller for picking up some complicated transportation stories for me yesterday/today amid the chaos. Love journalists who can do it all.
