Passenger Rail Investment And Improvement (Priia) Projects For Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Wmata), as named on the catalog line, is the listing on one side of the join; District of Columbia (DC) is the geography tag on the other. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $450,498,863 on 4 awards. The extract does not list ridership, a Maryland-versus-Virginia split, or named rail yards.
