B 25-1054 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

DC Circulator Transition Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This emergency bill requires the District of Columbia Mayor to get Council approval before making any changes to the DC Circulator's budget, regardless of the amount involved. It also mandates that money from selling or leasing Circulator assets be placed in a special fund dedicated to supporting current and former workers with wages, bonuses, or severance. Additionally, the legislation directs the Department of Transportation to work with the Metro to explore options for taking over the Circulator service, offering alternative bus routes, or rehiring displaced staff under their existing pay and seniority terms. The act is designed to take effect immediately but will expire within 90 days once the situation is resolved.
