Alternatives Analysis, 1977 |
![]() |
| In the late 1970s, at the request of the Urban Mass Transit Administration, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments studied whether WMATA should complete all the unfinished lines or whether a shorter, cheaper system would be preferable. Amid the gasoline shortage of 1979, local politicians rejected the notion of truncating the system, and Congress agreed to pay to finish the job., Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., Metrorail Alternatives Analysis, 30 November 1977.
