Assuming a similar formula distribution to the CARES Act's $1.020 billion distribution to the DC area, this means about...

* $1.21B to #wmata
* $136M to PRTC (incl VRE)
* $60M to MTA

Again, these are just my estimates, not official #'s
#wmata says the DC region is getting $830.7M of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSSA)'s $14B allotted to transit, $714M of which is heading to Metro (enough to complete FY22 w/o service cuts, tho below my earlier estimate) Image
#wmata FY22 budget recommends pushing Silver Line Phase II opening to January 2022.

Really, this is more just an administrative change that bakes MWAA's last ~6mo Silver Line delay now into the #wmata budget.

That said, note that WMATA still has not set a date to begin revenue service at the new stations.

Latest #wmata Silver Line update notes 17 open issues - 9 "unresolved" - with MWAA/construction, including 1 issue (cracked 3rd rail coverboard brackets) new since last month's update. The line will open no sooner than 3 months after handover from MWAA.

#wmata appendix lists all currently-open issues. Cracked concrete panels no longer on this list (which WMATA OIG issued its own report about - ggwash.org/view/78978/met…)
#wmata's "available track" metric came in better than expected in part due to Purple Line delays (shutdowns/single-tracking that would've impacted the Red Line for integration). wmata.com/about/board/me…

#wmata is single-tracking @ Rosslyn via the lower level due to a signal problem affecting a switch near the upper-level platform.
Well, folks, we've got delays. A #wmata rail supervisor is on scene and will be manually throwing the switch which trains cross over before arriving at Rosslyn towards DC. Until that happens, we're single-tracking around with 10+ minute holds.

Lisa Woodruff, a #wmata senior executive who the WMSC says broke safety protocols and instructed others to do so at the rail operations control center, is being appointed by Metro's Chief Operating Officer as his SVP for Business Process Development, overseeing 4 departments. 1/4
Woodruff was reassigned back in September, 2020, while #wmata investigated the allegations against her by the WMSC. Metro later issued a statement (wmata.com/about/news/Lit…) clearing her of direct wrongdoing (but agreed that a caustic environment at the ROCC existed) 2/4
