“US Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla) today introduced the Make Autorail Great Again Act to block all federal funding to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority until it officially changes its name to the ‘Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access’ (WMAGA) and renames the Metrorail the ‘Trump Train.’ ‘WMATA has received billions in federal assistance over the years and continues to face operational, safety, and fiscal challenges,’ said Rep Steube. ‘In the spirit of DOGE, this bill demands accountability by conditioning federal funding on reforms that signal a cultural shift away from bureaucratic stagnation toward public-facing excellence and patriotism.'”
“Rebranding WMATA as WMAGA and the rail system as the Trump Train represents more than a name change; it is a mandate for performance and transformation. ‘Like any struggling institution, WMATA needs a fresh identity that aligns with efficiency, service quality, and renewed trust. These new names serve as a bold rallying point for much-needed reform,’ Steube added. ‘With Washington, DC preparing to host major global events such as the FIFA World Cup and the 2027 NFL Draft, our capital’s transit system must meet the highest standards,’ Steube emphasized. ‘The American people expect modern, reliable, and well-managed public services in their nation’s capital.”
“This bill leverages federal funding to ensure the transit system earns the right to represent the nation on the world stage,'” says a press release from dickhead Congressman Greg Steube’s office.
