Let's all work together for a more robust regional transportation network!

Our next meeting is coming up on Tuesday, August 11th. The topic: Southern Maryland Rapid Transit (SMRT). This is the meeting originally scheduled for June that had to be cancelled.

Speaker: Gary V. Hodge, President, Regional Policy Advisors
Gary will share an update on the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit (SMRT) project as well as some thoughts on the current crisis in state and federal funding for Maryland transit and transportation infrastructure.

Before the event starts, ACT is hosting a pre-meeting gathering for members to eat dinner (Dutch-treat) , talk transit, and get to know each other better. Meet us from 6 pm - 7:15 pm at Locavino, 8519 Fenton St, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Locavino is next to the Civic Center, overlooking the ice rink/Veterans Plaza.

Gary Hodge has served for more than 50 years as an appointed and elected official, policy consultant and citizen activist, in Southern Maryland, the metropolitan Washington region, and at the state and federal levels of government.
