Virginia’s governor and some lawmakers are taking aim at a Northern Virginia transportation commission after being rebuffed in a bid to win state seats on the Metro board. Two bills in the Virginia House call for changes to the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, which picks the four Virginia members on the 14-person Metro board of directors.

One would consolidate the commission with two other boards, while the other would create two seats on the board for the governor, plus require the others who serve on the Metro board to have “significant experience, separate from any experience in government, in mass transit planning, finance, engineering, construction, or management.”
