Mayor and Council For the meeting on: March 14, 2011 Department: City Manager Responsible staff: Jenny Kimball, Assistant City Manager phone: (240) 314 - 8104 [email protected] Subject Presentation on Moving Metro Forward by David Robertson, Executive Director, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Recommendation Join the City of Gaithersburg Mayor and Council for a presentation and discussion of the Joint WMATA Governance Review Task Force report titled Moving Metro Forwardon the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's governance. Discussion In response to growing concerns about the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) governance and because the region's future success is so closely tied to Metro's performance, the Washington Board of Trade and Council of Governments created a Joint WMATA Governance Review Task Force. The Task Force mission was to recommend improvements in the transit agency's governance to ensure the highest performing and sustainable transportation system for the Washington metropolitan area. The Task Force was composed of 18 current and former elected officials, government managers, and experts, including current and former WMATA Board members and General Managers. The Task Force received public comment, reviewed scholarly articles and studies, and examined governance arrangements for WMATA and other transit and multi-state public sector organizations. The Task Force report, Moving Metro Forward, was released on November 17, 2010 and is found in Attachment A. The Task Force report describes the current state of WMATA governance, other relevant governance models, and findings and recommendations. The central, overarching recommendation is the formation of a WMATA Governance Commission to make necessary improvements to the authority's governance structure and hold the Board of Directors accountable for its performance. The Task Force further recommends a series of immediate actions to be taken by the WMATA Governance Commission and WMATA Board. The report also recommends changes to the Interstate Compact that is the basis for the WMATA governance structure. On January 10, 2011, Maryland Governor O'Malley, Virginia Governor McDonnell and DC Mayor- elect Gray released Transforming Governance of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority: Implementation Plan and Schedule for WMATA Governance Reform. That report is found in Attachment B. It is an aggressive response to concerns about WMATA performance and accountability. It provides a comprehensive implementation plan and schedule with immediate, medium-, and long-term actions to address WMATA's governance problems. On December 1, 2010, the WMATA Riders' Advisory Council (RAC) also released a report on the WMATA governance structure. That report (Attachment C) includes feedback received at RAC hearings and the RAC's recommendations for improvements. Mayor and Council History This is the first time this item has been brought before the Mayor and Council.
