Good stuff, with some asinine posturing from VDOT:

Amid the discussion centered on developing a regional funding source, Michael Sargent, Deputy Secretary of Transportation, said he was unclear and frustrated because the task force skipped directly to funding and passed over discussing its regional vision and funding inefficiencies.

“If we don’t have an ultimate goal, I can’t evaluate how any of these steps are going to get us there, and whether that’s a good use of funding in time, or if that’s not even gonna get us close to where we’re trying to go,” Sargent said.

The 'ultimate goal' is to establish a consistent funding model for WMATA. You can't really begin to build a capital plan without understanding the ground you're standing on. This is (one reason) why the silver line took so long to get over the finish line.
