Requiring HOV-3 would create a seamless connection between VA & MD Express Lanes while encourage more carpooling and slugging on I-270 & I-495. TY @MDOTNews #MarylandTrafficReliefPlan washingtonpost.com/transportation…

Thank you Mobility Lab for a great analysis of the costs and benefits of eliminating transit fairs vs targeted TDM programs.

#495NEXT is a critical part of the DC area's Express Lanes Network, which is endorsed by the region's Transportation Planning Board. The Alliance is proud to join these organizations and many others in support of this important multimodal project - nvta.org/2021/01/nova-t…

The Alliance is proud to add Dulles Greenway CEO Renee Hamilton, Greater Washington Board of Trade's Daniel Flores, and @LuckStone's Charlie Windle to our Board of Directors. They each provide extensive and unique experience working on transportation issues in the DC area insidenova.com/news/business/…

This $3.7 billion private investment is a major victory for our region’s multimodal transportation system and a critical step forward to expanding our HOT Lanes network as envisioned by the DC area’s Transportation Planning Board nvta.org/2021/02/mdot-s…

Great comments from Secretary Slater highlighting new developments for this important project: 1.) $300 million for transit 2.) Free travel for HOV and transit 3.) New bike and pedestrian improvements nvta.org/2021/02/mdot-s…

.Transurban has done an exceptional job in Virginia and is making a major commitment of up to $300 million for transit investments in the corridor.

$145 million upfront = no net cost to MD taxpayers Also, +$300 million commitment to transit improvements, -$1.7 billion in MD maintenance cost for ALB/495/270, and +$3 billion in private investment = major windfall for MDOT and MD economy

Including $300 million for transit improvements and free trips for HOV - a big reason why the I-95 Express Lanes move more than twice as many people per lane as the regular lanes during the morning rush hour.

Momentum is building to fix our region's worst bottleneck - the American Legion Bridge. The Alliance is proud to join a diverse coalition of 62 regional organizations supporting this important multimodal project. nvta.org/2021/05/divers…

A MAJORITY of the MoCo Council supports adding the Maryland HOT Lanes project back in at tomorrow's TPB meeting due to MDOT's renewed transit commitment & regional benefits. This is a major victory for DC area residents. Adam Tuss Bruce DePuyt Katherine Shaver www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcgportalapps/…

In a The Washington Post op-ed, Sec. Greg Slater discusses a regional approach to the transportation network. “Thinking & acting with unity, we can create a transportation network to serve & connect people and businesses across the region...” wapo.st/3znk4BF #MDOTdelivers

A new Center for Regional Analysis (George Mason U.) study shows the @OpLanesMD project will generate 43,400 jobs; $3.3 billion in salaries, wages & benefits; $12.5 billion in economic activity; & $350 million in state and local taxes during construction. A major win for the region's economy. cra.gmu.edu/2022/04/04/pre…
