WMATA Governance Task Force

Earlier this year, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Board of Directors participated in a day-long strategic work session, at which Board members discussed development in the rapidly changing field of public transit governance and brainstormed ways to strengthen Board leadership. As a follow-up to that session, the WMATA Board of Directors agreed to establish a WMATA Governance Initiative and create the Governance Task Force to spearhead the Initiative.

A draft Action Report was developed, which culminates a carefully designed and methodically managed four-moth process. This report is being circulated for public review for a period of 30 days and enclosed is a copy for your review. Please return any comments to Ms. Debra A. Johnson, Secretary, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Comments may be sent via U.S. mail to: 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001 or electronically to boardsecretary@wmata.com by 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 13, 2006.

Additionally, please reference the Governance Task Force Draft Action Report in your response.

Thank you for your time.

Ms. Debra A. Johnson
Board Secretary
