I have no idea about transit systems outside of Virginia, but as far as my own backyard is concerned, I would like to offer the following suggestions:
1. WMATA: construct Metrorail extension to Dulles International Airport, with planning for a future extension to Leesburg.
2. WMATA: build underground Metrorail line connecting Georgetown with the rest of the Metrorail system, between the Foggy Bottom-GWU and Tenleytown-AU Metrorail stations.
3. WMATA: extend Metrorail from the Huntington station down the Route 1 corridor to Fort Belvoir, along with another Metrorail extension from the Franconia-Springfield station alongside the VRE line to Lorton station. Planning for future extensions of both lines down I-95 to a future Woodbridge-Occoquan station should also be funded.
4. Expand upon the Anacostia streetcar, with potential streetcar corridors being identified on K Street, Georgia Avenue/7th Street NW, H Street/Benning Road NE, Minnesota Avenue NE & SE, Pennsylvania Avenue SE, Martin Luther King, Jr. SE/South Capitol Street, and Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue NE.
5. Build the Columbia Pike streetcar in Arlington County.
6. Planning should be funded for a possible streetcar route in old-town Alexandria.
