The ROCC has declared a "Code 34" - meaning that Rail Traffic Controllers are blind and cannot remotely see where trains are. This is *not* an imminent safety risk - the underlying ATC system continues to work - but may cause some train delays.
#wmata
The MetroHero data access to the #wmata APIs also appears to be affected.
It sounds like the #wmata ROCC is able to see where trains are and can remotely set signals again (as of 4:58p).
This is the kind of delay that results from a Code 34 when the #wmata rail traffic controllers aren't able to monitor where trains are. They have their "eyes" back now though, all trains should be resuming movement soon.

.@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.

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.
