FY2015 Budget and Beyond
We want to hear from you! Interested 
in the FY2015 budget? Answer our survey or participate in an upcoming public meeting. Want to talk more long-term strategy? Connect on MindMixer.
We are seeking feedback from riders and offering multiple ways to comment on the proposed FY2015 budget and fare changes, as well as Metro’s Capital Improvement Program. You can participate in any or all of the following:
- Survey: The survey includes questions about the fare changes, costs, and the benefits you will see going forward. The survey is open until 5 p.m. on February 11, 2014.
- Public Hearings: The six public hearings will provide an opportunity for riders to give formal testimony on the docket of proposed budget actions.
Looking to get into the weeds and talk about some long(er)-term opportunities? We have started a new discussion on MindMixer to gather your ideas and thoughts about priorities and potential future changes to the balance of funding between riders and local government, continuing to allow fares to be paid in cash on Metrobus, parking, new fare options, and priorities for a down payment on Metro2025 initiatives.
Please let your friends, family and colleagues know about this opportunity to as well!

Why is WMATA trying to get rid of cash surcharge on buses? I think the change to $2 is a good thing. It should hopefully reduce the load time a little further by encouraging two single bills instead of lots of change. The surcharge also encourages Smartrip use and makes it simpler for tourists. I would like to see the Circulator match the proposed WMATA fare structure.
