DC: Safety Committee Chair announces Sept. 3 Meeting

Metro Board Safety Committee Chair Michael Goldman on Aug. 17 announced that the Committee will hold an earlier than scheduled meeting on Sept. 3 at 10 a.m. to review the interim general manager's operational investigation report on the Aug. 6 wide-gauge derailment incident, which the board expects to receive by Aug. 24. 

While aware of the senators’ call for an earlier board meeting, Goldman said he wanted to give board members sufficient time to review the report and consult with their jurisdictional safety experts before the board committee meeting. Goldman added that factual information may be available to the board by then from the safety department’s review of the incident.

The meeting will take place at Metro Headquarters.
