Metro, also known as WMATA, is showcasing its newest trains and railcars at the Fleet of the Future expo on the National Mall. This event allows the public to see mock-ups of the upcoming 8000-series metro trains and 60-foot zero-emission buses. The expo features tours and a pop-up shop offering unique souvenirs and limited-edition merchandise. The 8000-series railcars are set to be operational in 2026, but life-size mockups are currently on display. The event aims to highlight the investment in America's Metro system and promote public transit as a key aspect of community well-being.
Investing in public transit is investing in our communities’ well-being. I met with @BiStateDev & CEO Taulby Roach to discuss the $27 million in disaster recovery funding that we secured last year to repair and improve public transit systems in our community. https://t.co/Bn02QgIVOk
