| U.S. Representatives John Delaney and John Sarbanes joined MCDOT Acting Director Al
Roshdieh, MCDOT Division of Transit Services Chief Carolyn Biggins attended the “Stand Up 4 Transportation” event. |
On April 9, the Montgomery County Department
of Transportation (MCDOT) celebrated "Stand Up 4 Transportation"
National Infrastructure Day by joining hundreds of local transit organizations
across the nation to urge congressional leaders to pass a bill for
long-term transportation funding to replace the expiring MAP-21
legislation. Federal transportation
monies help fund new Ride On buses, Metrorail, the future Purple Line, bicycle
and pedestrian infrastructure and other critical projects.
Congressional
leaders were invited for a tour of the LEED Gold Certified Equipment
Maintenance and Transit Operations Center (EMTOC) in Rockville.
