COMET members and the TSC had a very fruitful meeting in June in Washington, DC. Washington WMATA successfully hosted the COMET 2024 Western Meeting, receiving attendees from 20 metros across all regions. The focussed sessions looked at hot topics for the western world, including safety and security, smooth upgrades to fleet and signalling, resilience and fiscal sustainability, and a metro roundtable on workforce development and retention.
Delegates were invited to the technical visit to the new Metro Integrated Command and Communication Centre, where WMATA showed preparations for the upcoming Fourth of July celebrations.
