Greetings!
As gas prices continue to rise with no end in sight, the need to improve our mass transit network is critical to the continued success of Silver Spring and Montgomery County. The Purple Line will give existing and new transit riders on Ride On, MARC, and Metro better and faster service options.
As the cost of living rises and our roads become more congested, we must re-commit ourselves to environmentally sensitive transportation solutions.
