Federal Regulators Sign Off on Dulles Rail Extension – The Post

The Federal Transit Administration approved the extension, which now heads to U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters and the Office of Management and Budget for final sign-off. Approval from the FTA, where regulators had attacked the proposal as too expensive and poorly managed, is widely viewed as a critical moment for a project that local and state officials say is crucial to relieve traffic and spur economic growth at Tysons Corner and along the Dulles corridor.

This is great news for our region, this is a badly needed project. Hopefully Peters and OMB will sign off soon and the construction can really get going.
