This is certainly an ambitious list of transit projects and I would like to see them built (and add high speed rail from Charlotte to Boston to the list). In the near/mid-term, however, it will be up to states/local govt to pay for a significant share of the projects. I would like to see DC approve legislation establishing a state infrastructure bank, such as what has worked in many other states to attract private-sector funding. Similarly, I would like to see the District either raise the gas tax or raise the sales tax and dedicate this revenue to building the streetcar network and other rail and bus transit called for in WMATA's recent 2040 visioning exercise. Los Angeles County's 30/10 Plan should be the model for the rest of the nation.
