WMATA Investor Relations Disclaimer
This website provides information about bonds, notes, and other securities issued or secured by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (“WMATA”).

Please take a few minutes to read the Terms of Use below and indicate your acknowledgment before accessing the rest of the website. You may be tempted to click through the Terms of Use, but they are essential to understanding the information presented on this website.
