D.C. - Persuading FTA the benefits of tunnel

At a special called meeting hosted by Tyson Tunnel Inc. with the Federal Transit Administration and the communities near Dulles International Airport, speakers from the public gave very persuasive reasons for running a new line underground rather than on elevated rails. The FTA said federal funding would be jeapordized if the tunnel option was chosen, but nevertheless, the arguments stand on their own. The persuasive efforts of Tyson Tunnel Inc., who in all probability already knew the outcome of the meeting, are intended to cause the FTA to reconsider its position in view of the potential advantages of the tunnel option.
