Hard to read manuals and poor communication part of a study that took a closer look into how metro does track inspections. Fox Tom Fitzgerald is live at the Wheaton Metro station. Is it safe to say that riders are not happy about this . Reporter yes. Its pretty safe to say that. Here it is, it was written by the American Public transportation association. You dont have to get far to start asking questions. Right here on the cove it was written in april, 2016. So why are people just learning about this now . Well, one of the reasons is that there were Board Members who put pressure on metro to release this thing and get it out in the open. So what is inside here . Lets start from the standpoint of remembering this all comes on the heels of that derailment. Remember . Out at East Falls Church . Luckily, nobody was injured in that. But since then, you know, for weeks now, weve been peeling back these layers on whats been going on with the Inspection System at metro. Much like those tracks themselves, folks, this is in bad need of an overhaul. The investigation found the training programs, theyre just not good enough, they need to make matters worse by dealing with the fact that when inspectors and repair crews are on those tracks, the report finds they need a better system to talk to each other to find out what is the most thing for them to be taking care can have first . This reports looks at how inspectors were hired. It says some of them were hired directly off the street with no minimum minimum ability or testing to see whether or not they could do the job. Metros new Management Team has pledged that theyre installing a Safety Culture in metro right now. You go over and you talk to these passengers, they will tell you the last Management Team should have taken care of this and not left it to the team thats in place now. I dont think they should take it lightly. Its a serious matter and they should have serious training for the respectable that inspect it thats really concerning. That should something theyre always working on. They should be checking these things way more often and getting the right people instead of people that just dont really care about whats going on. Somebody should have picked up on this a long time ago but they werent doing the reporter well, the reports said that the workers are enthusiastic and that these inspectors wants to do a better job. They just need better training and materials to do it. We talked to the office of the chairman today, jack evans. He says this is part of the process of being trans parents and letting people know exactly whats going on inside metro. As for metro themselves, we asked to talk to them today. They say since this was brought up at the metro Board Meeting last week, they were not interested in talking to us today. Live in wheaton, Tom Fitzgerald fox 5 local news.

In the past years, metro opens earlier but this career safetrack is underway and metro will not be opening any earlier, marathon officialed. Matt ackland is live with more on this. Reporter marine core officials tried to put a positive spin on this saying theyve known about this a couple months and b behind scenes, they know its not going to be easy because typically those trains start two hours before the race now, as you were saying 55 minutes before the race. So how people are going to get here is going to difficult. Lets tell you a little bit about some of the changes we have a graphic for you. First of all, the starting of the, this might sound a little bit odd. Typically begins at 7 55. Its going to start 7 55 to 8 55. There are safely adjustments to the course, especially in the dc area. Some people like the 10k run. This year only in virginia. And it will start at 9 55 in the morning, which is later compared to other years. Of lets take you to video now. Here is a new map of the course we werju its shorter through Rock Creek Park because basically they want to get the runners over the Memorial Bridge by 1 55. Thats when they will open back up the bridge. I asked official days, was there any discussion with metro about opening just a few hours earlier on this one day could metro help them out a little bit . Here is their answer. Take a listen. We basically laid out our plan exactly as you framed the question. Could we still open up the metro system two hours . Simply, no. Maintenan maintenance, safety is still number one on the list and and they regret it that theyre not able to make an exception for the marine core as much as they would like to have. Reporter there are al changes here when it comes to shuttle there will be shuttle buss to get runners, and parking lots, as well as spectators and they opened up new parking lots they havent had in the past. Some youll have to if any but at a discounted rate. They will have busses bring people here. But theyre advising if you can stay in a hotel, especially if youve out of town in this immediate area, it might be best. Remember, getting to the race is going to be difficult but then metro is really got ramp up the amount of trains that it has starting a 7 00. Getting home should be just about the same. Laura, sarah . We just heard from the folks at the marine core marathon what they had to say, what is metro saying about this . Reporter metro, they basically said that we made this announcement back in may, and even the marine core marathon said we heard the announcement. They said we got to get it done, and when you listen to the officials, they made it clear they understand program is really important. It needs to get done, they werent too upset. At least they didnt let the media know that today. That they understood that the Safetrack Program really needed to get done. We announced it got to get done. As a matter of fact, theres only a few instances where theyre going to open up early and i think the next one is for the inauguration in january, but that is really the only time theyre going to deviate from the Safetrack Program. Wow. Stay away from that whole area then. The weekend of the Marine Corp Marathon. Im curious what the numbers would be for the inauguration versus the Marine Corp Marathon. The grid lock will be incredible. Reporter remember they closed down the bridges, ive never come to the Marine Corp Marathon, ive watched it on National Mall and people are lined up everywhere. I have been to several inaugurations, i think theres more people, but its fair to say a lot of people getting here at one time i hope they set up a lot of bike racks. Reporter thats a good idea, a lot of bike racks. Thank you so much. Moving on to politics, donald trump will be delivering an immigration speech tonight in arizona trump accepteded an invitation from mexico president pena nieto to discuss the issue during a meeting held earlier in mexico, ronica cleary is here with that story. To be clear, Hillary Clinton was al invited by the president to have a meeting. Just about an hours ago, mexicos president pena nieto held a joint press conference after a private meeting they had where they discussed the issues related to immigration and the border that donald trump is championed as a key point to run for president. Take a listen to say even though i do recognize the fundamental right that each of the country has to defend its border, i also believe a true effort of collaboration between neighbors and allies is the most effective road in order to achieve this. Having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial. We recognize and respect the right of either country to build a physical barrier or wall on any of its borders, to stop the Illegal Movement of people, drugs and weapons. Cooperation toward achieving this shared objective and it will be shared of safety for all citizens is paramount to both the United States and to mexico. Just a few questions after those remarks he was asked about who will pay for it all. He said that was not discussed toda stuart is a Virginia State chairman for donald trump for president he gave us a preview of what we can expect to hear from donald trump tonight when he delivers his official remarks in arizona. Mr. Trump is going to make sure that the first thing we do is seal our border but he wants to make it clear, we welcome immigrants into the United States. We just want people to come here legally. We want to make sure they wont have a criminal background. That he recognizes that america is built on immigration, were going to continue to do that and going to have law and order when it comes to the border and our immigration system. Reporter early today, the governor appeared on his ask the governor radio address. He was asked about trumps meetings speech im not sure where donald trump is, hes been all over in the last two weeks on immigration and reform. Hes been clear he originally wanted to round up to the 11 million and send them back. Everybody knows thats not going to happen. Beyond being impractil he talks about building a wall.
