Support Student Metro Discounts

Support Student Metro Discounts

The Issue

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, which runs Metro bus and rail services, released a report on Oct. 8 that concluded the organization would benefit from offering college students a special transportation rate for Metrorail. Following the lead of Commissioner Zhurbinskiy at The George Washington University, as well as major cities in America including Seattle, Chicago, and Minneapolis-St.Paul, Commissioner Isaiah Burroughs (SMD 5A04) of The Catholic University of America will propose a resolution to WMATA to encourage the enactment of this program at the next regularly scheduled ANC 5A meeting.  Sign this petition to show your support to push Advisory Neighborhood Commission 5A, Ward 5 Councilman Kenyan McDuffie, and Chairman Mendelson to support a resolution pushing the Metro board to approve unlimited $1 daily rides for college students
