"It is scandalous that the Federal Government provides a pittance for transit service to the national capital region."

"For the past 8 years, we have had to work with an administration that appeared to be ideologically opposed to funding extensions to transit systems."

"I have introduced legislation, Mr. Chairman, to authorize transit extensions in the Orange, Blue, Yellow and Purple line corridors."

"We also need to understand how we can move to extend Metrorail service in our region."
