WMATA Fare increase hearings

Over the next two weeks, WMATA will be holding hearings about the proposed fare increases for FY2013.

-- Docket B12-01: Proposed FY2013 Fare Adjustments and Docket B12-02: Proposed FY2013 Capital Improvement Program and Federal FY2012 Grant Applications
-- "Metro to hear from riders on fare increases," Washington Post

I wish that the local jurisdictions were in the position to provide more appropriations so that fares wouldn't have to be raised. I do not agree with the massive price increases for "one way" farecard use.

The public hearings will begin at 7:00pm on each of the nights listed below.

Wednesday, February 29th: Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School Cafeteria, 7130 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church

Thursday, March 1st: Matthews Memorial Baptist Church, John H. Kearney Sr. Fellowship Hall, 2616 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE, DC
