Bike with confidence. On this Bike to Work Day, it is a great reminder to choose active, sustainable transportation and stay alert while riding. As you bike to work, always prioritize safety—especially when riding near railroad or construction tracks. #SeriousAboutSafety

For more than a decade, people have been waiting for the Purple Line. Today, we installed the FINAL piece of rail, and now the more than 16 miles of track connecting New Carrollton to Bethesda are complete. This milestone means we can begin the next stage of vehicle and systems integration tests. I’m thankful for everyone who made this milestone possible.
