Representatives from the Coalition for Smarter Growth and Metro Hero will present the results of the first ever performance-based report card for D.C. buses and a panel of local experts will discuss how this assessment ties in with other studies being done to improve the bus. The panel will include Councilmember Mary Cheh, DDOT Director Jeff Marootian,   and representatives from WMATA,  TransitCenter, and the Greater Washington Partnership.  Uwe Brandes, of the Georgetown Urban & Regional Planning Program will moderate.
