Eleanor Holmes Norton actually said...

"Metro is, again, attracting riders, and anybody who understands climate change or congestion in this region has go to applaud that."

"Metro has also implemented an extensive safety and maintenance work plan for which we are very grateful, and now has a very impressive weekday on-time performance of 90 percent."

"But equally important, Metro has created a really irreplaceable transit network on which the Federal Government depends every day every bit as much as our constituents."

"Over half of Metro stations serve Federal facilities."
