DC Circulator Transition Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to allow the District of Columbia Council to pass new laws regarding the DC Circulator without waiting for federal congressional review. The bill requires the Mayor to get Council approval before changing how the DC Circulator is funded and mandates that money from selling or transferring the vehicle fleet be used to support laid-off workers. It also directs the District Department of Transportation to work with the Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to explore options for continuing service or hiring former employees. The measure is intended to prevent a legal gap between two previous emergency acts that were designed to protect workers during the transit system's transition.
