Rail Transit OPS Monthly Operations

Donation protected

Rail Transit Operations, Performance, and Safety Group is an independent; 100% publicly funded organization that was launched in December 2015, and currently evaluates the operations, performance and safety aspects of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Metrorail (WMATA) Metrorail system. We also provide incidental service information on MARC, and VRE. Make sure to like us on Facebook , and follow us on Twitter .

Our operations are 100% funded by public contributions, which on an average weekly basis entails approximately 30 hours of work; contributions also mandate the level of service we are able to provide. Our current level of operations are budgeted at $600/month. Starting in 2018 our goal is to maintain a minimum of 100 monthly recurring contributions at the $5/month level on our Patreon site; which breaks down to $0.25 each business day.

Currently our primary mission is evaluating and monitoring Metrorail to ensure that the riding public is aware of incidents, operational, and infrastructure conditions that could affect the travel of approximately 600,000 passengers daily on average. Performing our services is labor intensive, and includes typically the following:

>Monitoring WMATA rail operations on average 30-40 hours weekly.
>Providing support to one of our partners Metro Hero
>Reviewing Incidents and Preparing Incident Reports
>Attending select WMATA Board/Committee Meetings


To cover our operating labor costs associated with reviewing operations and incidents as well as administrative costs; we accept NON TAX DEDUCTIBLE contributions. Any amount you would like to contribute is greatly appreciated.
