Is the Federal Transit Administration involved in the project?

No. The FTA and DCTA jointly issued a Draft Environmental Impact  Statement (DEIS) for the project in 2007. However, when DCTA  subsequently decided not to seek FTA funding for the project, FTA  withdrew its endorsement of that DEIS. DCTA continued the environmental  review of the project on its own. At present, FTA has no involvement in  the funding or construction of the project.
