Issue Position: Creating Transportation Solutions

Issue Position

Often in Montgomery County we find ourselves being reactive instead of proactive with our transportation infrastructure. Craig takes a proactive approach. He supported the recent transportation package that will bring more than $882 million to Montgomery County to improve current infrastructure, increase mass transit opportunities and help leverage federal funding.
All of the past session's actions will support a smart growth strategy which includes the Inner-Purple Line, a proposed light-rail line which would connect the region's core communities near the Capital Beltway, reduce traffic and help curb greenhouse gas emissions. He also strongly supports improving current roads, the Brookeville and Laytonsville Bypass and the Bus Rapid Transit system which would increase access to Metro services.
