A new report by the independent agency overseeing Metro's rail system safety, released on Wednesday, highlighted concerns over the adequacy of train operators' skills and knowledge for safe operation. The Washington Metrorail Safety Commission (WMSC) has mandated the Metro system to address and correct the certification issues within 90 days. Specifically, the Metro has been ordered to ensure all train operators possess the necessary safety certifications required for their roles within 90 days. This directive comes in response to findings that Metro has not been consistently conducting proper safety tests before certifying operators.
