D.C. and the Washington Commanders are reportedly closing in on a $3 billion deal to build a new stadium on the old RFK stadium site, which would bring the NFL franchise back to the District. While numbers reportedly are not finalized yet, the framework has the team paying a majority of the costs associated with building the new stadium. NBC 4's Mark Segraves first broke the story and he joined the show to break down what's in the deal and what may happen next.
Metro has recently experienced some of its highest ridership in years, spurred by return-to-office mandates and the spring tourist season. Plus, last week, the local public transportation system announced it was again increasing service, including expanding weekend hours.
Despite all the good news, Metro's future is uncertain. A shrinking federal workforce, worrisome budget challenges for localities across the region, and increasing federal oversight are threatening to knock Metro off the rails of its much-publicized comeback. General Manager Randy Clarke got behind the mic with Kojo and Tom to weigh in on the future of the Metro. Plus, we asked about the upcoming overhaul of Metro's bus system.
