Republican Representative Greg Steube of Florida introduced legislation proposing to rename Washington, D.C.'s Metrorail system the "Trump Train" and to rebrand the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) as the Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access, abbreviated as "WMAGA." The bill, introduced on May 29, 2025, includes a provision to withhold federal funding from WMATA until both the subway system and the transit authority adopt the new names. Steube characterized the proposal as promoting "excellence, patriotism & accountability." The bill does not mention changes to the Metrobus system. This initiative is part of a broader wave of proposals to rename public spaces and infrastructure in honor of former President Donald Trump, including suggestions to rename Dulles Airport and to issue a $250 bill featuring Trump's image.
