You still have time to speak up on the Huntington Metro plan before the Planning Commission votes tomorrow. Walkable, inclusive, transit-oriented communities are the most sustainable and equitable way for Fairfax County and our region to grow. That’s why we need you to speak up in support of developing the Huntington Metro station area as a key part of that larger vision.

TAKE ACTION: Prince George’s needs safer streets and better transit for livable communities
Maryland Department of Transportation will present its six-year transportation budget plan to Prince George’s officials this Thursday. The project list has some good projects, including the Purple Line, Metro, walk and bike safety, and support for transit-oriented development along the Blue Line Corridor. But also plans a lot of bad spending for road expansion that will fuel sprawling, traffic-generating development in the remaining rural areas of the county, and a continued failure to redesign existing roads to make them safer.
TAKE ACTION: Pass Thrive’s Vision for Our Future!
Tell your councilmembers that you support a vision for Montgomery County that is more affordable, equitable, sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous!
TAKE ACTION: Stop the council from dismantling the public’s new smart growth zoning code
Tell the Prince George’s County Council to vote no on rushed, drastic changes to our new zoning code.
TAKE ACTION: Keep Upper Beach Drive for walking and rolling year round!
