.@dcmetrohero data appear to confirm and show that neither D31 @Metrobusinfo trip ran this morning.
(wmata.com/schedules/time…) #wmata
I defer to @dcmetrohero on the accuracy of the data, but it appears #wmata @Metrobusinfo has missed about ~100-140 bus trips over the past 3 hours this morning across its network.

On Kojo, #wmata GM/CEO says the agency was lagging behind the region in its vaccination rate, but he didn't say what the agency's current percentage is.
Sherwood: Gondola???

Wiedefeld: "Tom, I run buses and trains, not gondolas"
Wiedefeld: #wmata didn't investigate taller or more difficult-to-jump faregates; he says the system's architecture presents a limitation

The #wmata Board has waived parking fees at Shady Grove and Rockville while the stations are closed.
The #wmata OIG office reviewed & said several legacy "mission critical" programs don't have modernization plans.

Apparently the names of these programs is so sensitive that they're not willing to say which are lacking these plans.

Red Line delays due to a signal problem near Silver Spring. Trains in both directions will experience delays.
#wmata
Red Line delays are primarily affecting Glenmont-bound tracks, as train operators are still going to the roadway and clamping switches. This'll impact Shady Grove-bound service as the gap in trains propagates.

Possible Green Line delays; #wmata reports they had a temporary loss of power at West Hyattsville, at the same time a train operator reported another train was possibly smoking (perhaps stuck brakes).
GR/Branch Ave train 508 is offloading @ West Hyattsville through the front-most door.

#wmata
PGFD have been called to respond to West Hyattsville due to this report of possible smoking/stuck brakes. #wmata

On the bright side, Green/Yellow stations north of Fort Totten have reopened.

On the downside, trains are experiencing speed readout issues (meaning they're having to travel slower) between West Hyattsville and Prince George's Plaza.
#wmata Image
At 8am, Yellow and Green line trains are running with delays, concentrated mainly between West Hyattsville and College Park. Expect trains towards Greenbelt to hold at stations as directed by the ROCC and travel slowly in between.
#wmata Image
Sometimes when #wmata does major trackwork they also replace ballast, the rocks under the tracks, which requires slow speeds while it settles and adjusts.

Today's speed restrictions are a combination of that plus add'l ATC speed command issues.

"Metrorail reactivated the Alexandria Rail Yard (C99) Automatic Train Control (ATC) system over the safety-based objections of Metrorail's subject matter experts, the ATC Engineering Department"
#wmata
WMSC has a slight bit of detail about the Potomac Yard ATC signaling design delay in today's latest findings. The initial design didn't align with #wmata standards, and the agency wasn't following them. Metro itself delayed the project to fix the deficiency.
