For Metrorail, we will continue our railcar modernization with the scheduled delivery of 168 new<br />

7000 series railcars in <strong>FY2017</strong>, which will greatly improve reliability and the customer experience.<br />

We will also upgrade infrastructure at Metro’s Rail Operations Control Center and launch a<br />

modern customer contact center to better engage our customers through digital media.<br />

Finally, we have proposed a balanced operating budget for <strong>FY2017</strong> without raising fares for<br />

customers, reducing service, or increasing support from jurisdictions. I look forward to working<br />

with the Board, our customers and our funding partners to finalize the budget in the coming<br />

months. I know we are all united behind improving Metro’s safety and service in the most<br />

financially responsible way.<br />

Paul J. Wiedefeld<br />

Chief Executive Officer
