Washington’s Metrorail system does not adequately investigate red light signal violations or work hard enough to prevent such incidents, according to a new report from federal investigators.
The 45-page report, released by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on Monday, examined the 68 red light overruns since 2012, 10 of which occurred this year.
In three of the reported incidents, the trains "came within seconds of striking another passenger train or workers,” the FTA said.
