In March 2004, a lawsuit was filed against WMATA1, alleging that WMATA was failing to comply with federal laws with regards to the MetroAccess system.

Although the contractor providing MetroAccess service on behalf of WMATA changed (from LogistiCare to MV Transit) in 2006 the case continues to be in litigation.

Late last week, all MetroAccess subscribers received a “Notice of proposed class action settlement”2

At the moment, the Judge hearing the suit will be holding a “Fairness Hearing” on May 22nd 2008. This may be the last chance people have to comment or object to any part of the proposed Settlement Agreement.
