WMATA is planning to hold their second-ever town hall meeting tomorrow, April 12, at George Mason High School in Falls Church from 6 to 9 p.m. The school is about one half-mile from the West Falls Church Metro and they say there’ll be WMATA employees on hand to point you in the right direction. Their first public town hall meeting drew an overflow crowd to Metro’s downtown headquarters. It’s not clear what (if any) concrete results came from the meeting, but it initiated a public dialogue and certainly brought some problems to the attention of WMATA’s leadership. (You can read the transcript here.) The first town hall sparked a follow-up story in the Post based on one question from the public which revealed none of the current sitting WMATA board members ride Metro regularly.
