288 MARYLAND MANUAL
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Commission was estab-
lished in 1961 for the purpose of regulating transportation facilities
in the District of Columbia metropolitan area. The Commission was
created by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Regulation
Compact, which was drawn up between Maryland, the District of
Columbia, and Virginia. Maryland ratified the Compact with the adop-
tion of Chapter 613, Acts of 1959. The Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit District, also created by the Compact, embraces the District
of Columbia, the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church and Arlington
and Fairfax Counties in Virginia, and Montgomery and Prince
George's Counties in Maryland.
The Commission is composed of three members. One member is
appointed by the Governor of Maryland, one by the Governor of
Virginia, and one by the Commissioner of the District of Columbia.
Each Commissioner serves a term coincident with his term of office
on the agency from which he is selected. Maryland is at present repre-
sented by the Chairman of the Public Service Commission. The Com-
mission selects its own officers annually.
The Commission regulates and plans for mass transit in the District
of Columbia metropolitan area. It has the power to prescribe fares,
regulations and practices of transportation companies and taxicabs
in the area.
Expenses of the Commission are allocated annually in proportion
to the population of each signatory in the metropolitan area. Mary-
land's share is forty percent (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art.
41, sees. 267-307).
