About Washington Metrorail Safety Commission
The Washington Metrorail Safety Commission, a U.S. government entity headquartered in Washington, D.C., is the designated State Safety Oversight agency for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrorail system and receives federal operating grants from the Federal Transit Administration to execute its statutorily mandated safety oversight responsibilities under 49 CFR 674. WMSC does not compete for federal contracts; it is a grant recipient only, with no contracting prime or subcontracting activity in its federal footprint.
WMSC's entire federal award portfolio consists of five Formula Grants from the Federal Transit Administration under the Rail Fixed Guideway Public Transportation System State Safety Oversight Formula Grant Program (CFDA 20.528), with one Project Grant under Section 5329 (CFDA 20.527). These grants provide operating assistance covering salaries, benefits, office space, contracted support for human resources, legal, IT, accounting, and direct State Safety Oversight program work necessary to maintain WMSC's operational capacity and execute comprehensive safety monitoring, inspections, audits, and technical assistance functions for the Metrorail system. The most recent grant, awarded June 17, 2026, totaled $4,520,608 for the five-year period ending June 30, 2031; prior grants awarded in July 2025 ($4,053,689), July 2024 ($4,584,610), May 2023 ($4,456,844), and May 2022 ($2,104,481) cover overlapping or sequential operating periods. Combined obligated federal funding across all grants in the source data is $31.2 million. All grants are direct awards to WMSC with no subrecipient activity; matching state and local funds are provided equally by the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Federal Transit Administration certified WMSC as a 49 CFR 674-compliant, financially and legally independent State Safety Oversight agency on March 18, 2019. The single customer agency across all eight grants is the Federal Transit Administration, representing 100% of WMSC's federal award activity.
