DC Circulator<br />
The DC Circulator is a partnership between the District Department of Transportation, Washington<br />
Metropolitan Authority Transit Authority and DC Surface Transit Inc. Metro serves as the contract<br />
manager, verifying provisions of service, and providing technical advice. The cost for operating<br />
and managing the contract service are fully reimbursed by the District of Columbia.<br />
Safety and Security Grants<br />
WMATA receives several Security grants through the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) and<br />
National Explosive Detection Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) under the Department of<br />
Homeland Security. These grants provide funding for capital and operational security activities.<br />
Such funding enhances the ability of the Metro Transit Police Department to detect and deter<br />
potential attacks of terrorism through increased visibility, unpredictable presence, identification of<br />
areas for critical infrastructure hardening, and employee and public awareness. The existing grants<br />
are scheduled to be implemented through the end of <strong>FY2017</strong>. As new Congressional<br />
appropriations become available, WMATA will actively pursue new funding to further enhance<br />
security activities.<br />
