US EditionRepublican introduces bill to rename DC Metro the ‘Trump Train,’ ‘WMAGA’
- U.S. Rep. Greg Steube has proposed legislation called the Make Autorail Great Again Act, which seeks to withhold federal funds from WMATA unless it changes its name to WMAGA and rebrands the Metrorail system as the "Trump Train" in Washington, D.C.
- The bill conditions withholding about $150 million in federal funding on these rebranding changes amid WMATA's ongoing operational, safety, and fiscal struggles.
- The WMATA Board of Directors has endorsed a $4.957 billion budget designed to enhance service by adding bus routes, lengthening weekend hours, and increasing rush-hour train frequency, all while keeping fares unchanged.
- Rep. Steube noted that despite receiving substantial federal funding over time, WMATA still struggles with operational, safety, and financial issues, and he urged a rebranding effort to enhance efficiency and rebuild public confidence.
- This legislation aims to enforce accountability and transform WMATA's culture toward excellence and patriotism before major events like the 2027 NFL Draft and 2026 FIFA World Cup.
