Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Metro Accountability and Investment Act
This bill authorizes additional funding to the Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide grants to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for capital and preventive maintenance projects.
DOT may not provide such grants until it annually certifies that the Board of Directors of WMATA has passed a resolution, and is making progress implementing such resolution, that
- establishes an independent budget authority, procurement authority, and independent hiring authority for the Office of Inspector General of WMATA;
- ensures the inspector general can obtain legal advice from a counsel reporting directly to the office; and
- requires the inspector general to submit recommendations for corrective action to the General Manager, the board, and Congress, and to publish any recommendations on the office's website, with redactions to prevent security risks.
DOT may provide additional grants to WMATA for the purpose of funding the capital and preventive maintenance projects included in the Capital Improvement Program approved by the board.
