Despite Policy Encouraging Travel, Most Airports Authority Board Members are Staying Grounded
Members of the board that oversees Reagan National and Dulles International airports, as well as the multibillion-dollar Silver Line rail project, remain largely grounded despite a change in policy nearly two years ago that encouraged them to travel more.
According to documents obtained by The Washington Post through a Freedom of Information Act request, board members spent roughly $17,000 last year, a year after members voted to loosen travel guidelines. Comparatively, in 2015, the year before the rule change, board members spent $32,000 on travel and other expenses.
