The Coalition for Smarter Growth strongly supports funding for WMATA. We support the proposed governor’s allowance with amendments that the State of Maryland provide full operating funding contribution identified by WMATA in its proposed FY27 budget, and, starting in FY28, the DMVMoves capital funding increase of $152M per year.

A transportation trifecta is moving through the MD General Assembly: more climate-friendly projects, more options than driving, and more homes and businesses near transit. Send an email to make sure these three bills get passed!

The Coalition for Smarter Growth supports SB116 Board of Public Works, Contract Review, Climate & Sustainability Information.  SB116 will ensure that Maryland’s capital investment and procurement decisions are informed by how well they support the state’s climate change goals.

Alexandria wants to make Braddock Road safer for people walking and biking, including children walking and biking to school, and people connecting to Metro, area trails, retail and services. Please consider speaking up in support of these needed improvements.
