A Florida congressman wants to change the name of the DC area public transportation system to honor President Trump.
Sarasota Congressman Greg Steube (R-Fla) is proposing a bill to tie federal funding for the Metro system to several name changes.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority would become the Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access, or WMAGA.
Rep. Steube's bill would also rename the Metrorail, rebranding it as The Trump Train.
“With Washington, D.C. preparing to host major global events such as the 2027 NFL Draft and multiple FIFA Club World Cup matches, 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.”
Steube placed the full text of the proposed bill on his website.
