More Funds Needed For Suburban Washington Subway
The Washington Area Transit Authority says Northern Virginia localities must add 55 million dollars, the District of Columbia 61 million, and Maryland suburbs 34 million. Northern Virginia totals include Alexandria 30.6 to 39.9 million, Arlington 55 to 76.1 million, Fairfax County 61.9 to 84.7 million, Fairfax city 2.6 to 3.2 million, and Falls Church 0.8 to 1 million. The plan hinges on a federal guarantee of 1.2 billion in revenue bonds, which would make 300 million more available with local matches.
