Action Committee for Transit
США
Добавлен 11 окт 2021
The Action Committee for Transit has a vision of better communities and better transit. We believe fundamental changes are needed in transportation and land use policies to give the people of Montgomery County and Maryland the quality of life we deserve - where it is easier to travel and more pleasant to live - a county built for people and not for automobiles.

Porter a true genius!
Great presentation and excellent questions. Pursue this project as suggested.
Awesome presentation, very informative! More states need to adopt systems like this
Blame CSX and MTA
Great job Dan! Easily the best public speaker among the MC YIMBYs.
Banks don't loan money. 12 USC §248(a)(1)(B) Federal Reserve operating circular appendix number 3 Section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act paragraph 1, 2, & 4 Treasury directive 15.01
Thank you for having these two speakers, both very knowledgeable, for an update on the RideOn and FLASH projects in the county.
It was our pleasure ❤️ Please feel free to share this and future content, and/or to attend upcoming meetings in person.
The reason why this happens is because the MARC Brunswick Line is running on tracks owned by CSX. And because CSX, Amtrak and MARC all share that line, it will be very hard to mix those three and have an efficient dispatching process. While I do agree, MARC can’t do much about this and even though they can run a couple train to Frederick, the rest of the stretch of the line is shared with other MARC, two Amtrak and CSX trains all running on it. If they could, they would buy the line to either Brunswick or Frederick, but I don’t know how.
Thank you for your comment and please be sure you are subscribed to this RUclips channel for more coverage of local transit.
They have two tracks it can’t be that hard
@@car_tar3882 CSX runs REALLY long freight trains as slow as possible. And usually only one of the two tracks is used to run, and the other is used as a siding.
@@DMVRailfan oh. I’m curious what it would take to make csx stop. Especially with the coming red line shutdown bi directional service would be great
@@car_tar3882 The State of Maryland intervening. Probably that.
I'm sorry that I missed this event and the most recent event held on March 4th at the Germantown Public Library. We definitely need to focus more on road safety here in the Upcounty (Germantown) area, especially on Crystal Rock Dr. at the intersection of Waters Landing Dr./Cloverleaf Center Dr. and Waters Landing Dr. Thanks for posting and sharing this video.
