Pub. L. 92-196, tit. VIII, sec. 805

Sec. 805. In granting its consent to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Compact and enacting that compact for the District of Columbia, Congress declared the policy that, to the extent that costs of the regional transit project are not covered by user charges, such costs shall be equitably shared among the Federal, District of Columbia, and participating local governments in the transit zone. In the National Capital Transportation Act of 1969, Congress, in conformance with this policy, authorized the Commissioner of the District of Columbia to contract with the Transit Authority to make annual capital contributions to provide the District of Columbia’s share of the cost of the regional transit project. Pursuant to this authorization, the District of Columbia has entered into a Capital Contributions Agreement with the Transit Authority and the political 85 Stat. 660subdivisions in the transit zone to make the agreed upon annual contributions. It is the purpose of this section to reaffirm the aforementioned policy established by Congress with respect to the regional transit project and the contractual obligation of the District of Columbia to provide its share of the cost of the regional transit project.
