FILE - In this May 3, 2016 file photo, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority General Manager and CEO Paul Wiedefeld attends a National Transportation Safety Board meeting in Washington. Washington's beleaguered subway system will experience a year of rolling shutdowns and slowdowns as officials try to improve its safety and reliability. Wiedefeld announced the maintenance plan on Friday, May 6, 2016. He says doing track work at night and on the weekends when the system is closed simply doesn't provide enough time to catch up on maintenance. Instead, stations will be closed or trains will be sharing a single track in each direction for days or weeks at a time. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)
