Letter to WMATA from 70 Montgomery & Prince George's County Elected Officials opposing Metro's proposal to continue a reduction in late night service hours into the year 2020.
600 Fifth Street, NW Washington, DC 20006 Dear Mr. Wiedefeld: We, the undersigned officials from Montgomery & Prince George's counties, write to express our opposition to extending the elimination of late night Metro hours through July 2020. Many of us wrote to you in 2016, when this proposal was first announced, and we cited numerous concerns: hardship for service workers, increased drunk driving, a loss in ridership, and negative impacts on local businesses. We recognize the significant ongoing maintenance needs for Metro, but we believe addressing these needs does not require systemwide service reductions as we have experienced over the past several years. Our residents and businesses have now made sacrifices for two years, in order to provide ample time for track maintenance. It is now time to try and win back riders with a restoration of service hours, and hopefully a reduction of headways. We want Metro to be both safe and convenient, and we believe the suspension of late night service should end on schedule in July 2019. That does not mean there will not be some late night closures of specific segments or lines for necessary projects, but those should be scheduled and planned. We thank you for your work in prioritizing safety improvements, and we hope you will now work with us to similarly prioritize improving Metrorail reliability and convenience. We will also share our concerns with the Maryland Governor's Office, Maryland Secretary of Transportation, and Maryland Board Members, as we recognize that they are our liaisons to you. Thank you for considering our renewed concerns. Sincerely, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich Gaithersburg Mayor Jud Ashman Greenbelt Mayor Emmett Jordan Rockville Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton Takoma Park Mayor Kate Stewart Senator Joanne Benson Senator Cheryl Kagan Senator Susan Lee Senator Paul Pinsky Senator Jim Rosapepe Senator Will Smith Senator-elect Ben Kramer Senator-elect Jeff Waldstreicher
