Normal volume 50 to 11 street bridge and maryland commute heavy topside of beltway 95 to georgia aavenue and 95 itself slow icc to spur when you spill on to beltway there. Finally 270 southbound from fred rick okay to the truck scales and it has heavy delays 70 start to hit the brakes through Montgomery County to the spur. Expect normal volume there. Thats a look at traffic. More warm and traffic at 7 15. Steve and allison. Tracking metro grim outlook from the agency general manager about the potential put tour. Hes calling on leaders from d. C. , maryland and virginia to come to ipz grips with the financial situation and government and personnel cuts wont fix it. What does it mean for riders . Outside the chinatown metro station one of the areas seen a drop in ridership although not sure how far it is this morning. Good morning, guys, reality check is word also that general manager Paul Wiedefeld is using when it comes to the budget situation for the the coming year and years after that and yes, this time around its going to mean higher fares for riders and perhaps some Service Duties as well and all of this as safe track is really in the last phases and weve seen that metro was replacing those cranky 4,000 series rail cars and even though the system itself is spindzing that if theres a deeper financial hole than theyve had in recent histories fewer riders won part of the problem and years of safety problems and reliability concerns ands with know know have many choosing other Transportation Options and wiedefeld said in Conference Call to reporters yesterday theres a 12 dip in ridership across stations across the board and one example chinatown and gallery place peak ridership was once 27,000 a day and now thats down it 22500. There are also costs for maintenance and labor that continue to rise. So we have a 290 million budget gap that needs to be closed between expenses and revenue and fares on bus and rail would go up between 10 and 25 cents than will be less frequent and some after rush hour all of the trains will be less frequent and 0 at least 20 bus routes cancelled and 1,000 positions also will be eliminated in these service cuts and now after metro budget preview we know that martin decaro spoke with Paul Wiedefeld as well and basically steve and allison theres no more fat to cut here in metro budget going forward. And that could mean more money for the local jurisdictions and probably in the next year to year and a half were talking about perhaps regional transportation tax as well. Live in chinatown im Melanie Alnwick, fox5 local news. Well get more answers coming up 8 45 this morning. Metro general manager Paul Wiedefeld will join us with his take on the financial future.

And potentially one of the warmest winters in history locally here as things wrap up. Bulty of february 70s you dont have humidity to go with it and its comfortable and light breeze good and highly unusual. And i rarely enjoy february weather. This is a first. Thanks, tucker.

Judging by the people that flock to outdoor locations around the area this weekend myself included people are okay with the 70s in february. Behind me we have a crash 95 southbound virginia facie fax county several cars here including Police Vehicles pushdz off to the shoulder. This is southbound. Traffic moving freely. Not a lot of volume. Use caution if they tap the brakes here. Thats the scene of the crash. Back to maps and other spot that caused jamups. 9 county jammed stl route 17 to aquia harbor and thats because of earlier crash that has now cleared. But one long line of traffic coming out of stafford there 95 northbound and you break free of that and then you hit the brakes again jammed through woodbridge area off and on all the way up to springfield as you approach the beltway. Northbound 295 crash blocks the Left Shoulder laboratory road here and looks like inner loop delays as a result. Happy there on the inner loop approaching oxon hill and jammed solid 95 so delays spilling over on to 295 as the crash problems Left Shoulder and 56 eastbound normal volume heavy delays through mannasas and all the way up to centerville and off and on volume as awe approach the beltway itself. So kind of normal delays 270 southbound as well. That is look at traffic. More coming up at 7 25. Steve.

And attracting millennials ahead in the 8 00 hour those efforts and what we can expect as we talk to director of the program that trains conservatives in areas of fund raisinging and campaigning. Battle between President Trump and media rages on lewandowski speaking last night and he says the president is first president to actually stand up to the media and ushering in relationship between Mainstream Press and white house never seen before. This is problem with media you finally have a president that not only has ability to hit back but will hit back who will call people out when wrong and no president has ever been willing to take on Fourth Estate and media has been so afraid hes willing to and fighting for American People and if you look at fox poll American People believe donald trump gives them Accurate Information more so than Mainstream Media does thats why hell be successful.
