ADADMetro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld told Prince George’s County Council members on Monday that he didn’t know how money much Metro would receive. Wiedefeld was presenting members with the transit agency’s budget plan for fiscal 2022, which begins in July. As the agency’s financial situation stands, he said, Metro has enough money to keep operations stable until the end of the year. That money came as transit agencies, including Metro, were proposing drastic service cuts, having nearly exhausted their first round of federal emergency funding. AD“I don’t want to see transit agencies like [Metro] have to permanently slash service because of the effects of the pandemic,” Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) said in a statement.
