Residents can provide input throughout the month of June. MCDOT is offering multiple opportunities to learn about Flash, engage with project teams, have questions answered and provide feedback.
“Expansion of our Flash bus corridors is important for residents to have equitable access to jobs, education and essential services,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. ” Our current and future riders have valuable insights, and we want to hear from you. Your comments will help us shape and improve these services. I encourage all riders, as well as interested residents and community leaders, to participate in these upcoming engagement events.”
The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has won six 2022 National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Awards, accounting for about 20 percent of the 31 total awards won by the County. Award categories include transportation, information technology and financial management.
“I am really proud of the efforts of all of our employees,” said MCDOT Director Chris Conklin. “Transportation touches everyone. It is one of our County’s most important resources. We strengthen communities by connecting people and places through transit and infrastructure. We are continuously looking at what we can do better to improve the lives of our residents and ensure our services are equitable. These awards are reflective of that.”
With the recent selection of a new contractor and construction activities of the Purple Line continuing, the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA), which manages the project, will be hosting a number of in-person community meetings in Montgomery County.
The Purple Line is a 16-mile light rail line that will extend from Bethesda in Montgomery County to New Carrollton in Prince George’s County. It will provide a direct connection to the Metrorail Red, Green and Orange Lines at Bethesda, Silver Spring, College Park, and New Carrollton. The Purple Line will also connect to MARC, Amtrak, and local bus services. The Purple Line has a planned completion date of 2026.
