What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Make Autorail Great Again Act," aims to restrict federal funding for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Federal funds would be prohibited until the transit authority undergoes a specific renaming process. This process requires amending the existing Compact to change the agency's name. Additionally, the bill requires the Metrorail to be renamed the "Trump Train."
