Plus, the proposals to cover bus and train fares come as the transit system is facing a $185 million budget deficit.Ward 6 council member Charles Allen had proposed giving an estimated 207,000 D.C. residents a $100 monthly allowance to use on the Metro train and bus., kicking the SmarTrip stipend a few years down the road.The shift occurred after D.C.’s member on the Metro board, Tracy Hadden Loh, shared during a meeting last month with WMATA general manager Randy Clarke and D.C.
Hadden Loh also raised the potential for fraud if D.C. residents tried to sell online their subsidized SmartTrip cards.
