The Commonwealth of Virginia's Department of Blind and Vision Impaired awarded a contract to Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) on June 22, 2026, for the provision of commuter transit services valued at $16,830.00. The contract supports the Commonwealth Commuter Program, which allocates monthly transit fare allowances to eligible state employees working in the Northern Virginia region. Under this award, WMATA will supply pre-loaded metro cards to authorized personnel, with each employee authorized to receive up to $255 monthly in transit fare value for work-related commuting purposes.

The contract covers a six-month performance period spanning July 2026 through December 2026, during which WMATA will deliver one unit—a master allocation of pre-loaded metro cards—to the designated recipient, Catherina Hogg. The cumulative contract value of $16,830.00 represents the total authorized transit fare allocation for the specified period and employee population in the Northern Virginia area. This government-to-government purchase represents a standard implementation of the Commonwealth's employee commuter benefit program through its designated regional transit provider.
