How does eink compare to actual paper for people with low vision (that could be a problem with complaints or lawsuits)and what is the cost benefit of replace 100+ paper signs with eink how long will it take to recoup.

You seem to be talking alot about suburban commuters what about people who reside within the city and do not leave it that perhaps travel short distances or even from end to end.

Since you speak of other cities and regions How much does it cost to get from one part of the city/region (the real borders of the jurisdiction not suburbs) to another in Tokyo, Hong Kong, NYC

The problem with all examples of comparing commuter rails to DC is that Metrorail also functions as a city subway and that needs to be accounted for. There is no viable way to travel short distances in DC or the areas that border Western, Eastern, Southern Avenues or the Potomac.

Unless someone is going to build a actual subway in DC people who travel short distances of less than 1-5 stops need to be accounted for since it is the only real way that could be travelled since many of the buses routes do not travel across the geographic barriers (Anacostia, Rock Creek Park)within the city.
