WMATA could shave a couple of million in utility costs with no effect on operations by turning off the lights in the tunnels 24/7, or at least reduce tunnel lighting by 75% (they are wired to allow that by the way) They could also turn off the lights in the stations when the system is closed or at least by 75%. The same could be done with the outdoor lighting around surface stations. Ancillary area lighting should also be turn off 24/7 except when areas are occupied. Fare collection equipment, gates and vendors, should be powered down when system is closed.
