Plain-language change summary

The proposed resolution has been updated to officially reappoint Dr. Tracy Hadden Loh to the Board of Directors of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. The key change is the removal of "Dr." from her name in the resolution's text, simplifying it to just "Ms." This adjustment is significant as it clarifies the title used in the resolution, ensuring accuracy in how the appointee is referred to, which reflects her role and qualifications. The resolution still confirms her term, which will now extend until June 30, 2029.
