Metro’s board of directors plans to meet with members of the National Transportation Safety Board on Monday to discuss the federal agency’s findings in last year’s deadly Red Line crash near Fort Totten. The special board session is slated for 2:30 p.m. Monday and open to the public, according to Metro’s Web site. The independent safety group issued recommendations last week, slamming the board for the agency’s “anemic” safety culture that led to the June 22, 2009, crash that killed nine people and injured dozens more. Only one of Metro’s 14 directors attended the NTSB meeting last week, and she left before the federal agency issued its recommendations. – Kytja Weir
