Action Committee for Transit

Action Committee for Transit Montgomery County's Advocates for Better Transportation The Action Committee for Transit has a vision of better communities and better transit.

We believe fundamental changes are needed in transportation and land use policies to give the people of Montgomery County and Maryland the quality of life we deserve. Our broad membership and active volunteers give us the ability to make the voice of transit riders -- and those who would like to ride transit if it were more available -- heard in Rockville, Annapolis, and Washington. At the same ti

me, we continue to educate the public about the needs of transit. Our organization is democratically governed and we are sustained financially by our members.

Here's a sample of the scorecard with an explanation of how it works:

We are delighted to see that Maryland has taken an important step to make it easier for Marylanders to live near transit! A shorter commute helps everybody and helps mitigate the challenges of the 'last mile' to get to transit. The more folks who can get to transit without driving, the better off we all - drivers, cyclists and pedestrians - are. Well done, Maryland!!

With the Transit and Housing Opportunity Act, the Maryland state government wrests control over some aspects of land use from local governments near certain rail transit stations.

Maryland’s Metro funding commitment passes with bipartisan support. Thank you to all of my supportive colleagues, but especially the floor leader on the bill, Delegate Ryan Spiegel.
