- Federal WMATA funding — Cut off until interstate compact is amended to rename the system
The details
Federal funding to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority would be cut off until its interstate compact is amended to rename the agency the "Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access" (WMAGA) and rename the Metrorail the "Trump Train." Renaming the compact requires action by Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia plus congressional consent, so the federal pause would continue until all four agree. The freeze would affect day-to-day federal support for the system that serves DC-area commuters and visitors.
