Metro Troubles, Wes Moore, and E-Bike Rebates
It’s been yet another rough week for Metro and its safety commission, and this time it seems like they want to go for some couples counseling. Lead Producer Priyanka Tilve and City Cast DC Contributor Dan Reed join host Mike Schaffer to talk about that, plus the new, ambitious Maryland Governor and how D.C. might subsidize e-bikes for residents.
As always, our roundups are powered by some of the excellent local reporting D.C. has:
- Justin George from the Washington Post explains WMATA’s mediation with its regulator.
- Gillian Brockell of the Washington Post on what Moore being elected means for Maryland.
- Cuneyt Dil of Axios explains the possible e-bike rebate D.C. residents could get.
