@Aarondklein @MontCoExec @Marc_Elrich A Governor botching the selection of the P3 partner by accepting an unrealistic lowball offer, resulting in litigation followed by their exit are what puts a light rail project years behind schedule and billions over budget. Not gaffes.

@alfredcarr @MontCoExec @Marc_Elrich Did Hogan call the Purple Line “ethnic cleansing?” Cause @Marc_Elrich did. No one more anti smart growth or rail transit than Mr. NIMBY @MontCoExec. 🤮 ggwash.org/view/65614/mon…

No one caused this delay more than @MontCoExec @Marc_Elrich who’s carried more water for anti-transit NIMBY than anyone in Maryland. Thanks Mark for driving up costs, polluting the county, and causing a decade of construction traffic!

Maryland Senators, for lower costs, more transportation choices, and less pollution, pass the Transportation and Climate Alignment Act (HB 437/SB 59) before midnight on April 13th! #TCA #environment #moretransitchoices #health #mdga2026

@pluginsites @PlugandplayEV @itskyleconner @tommolog @MDEnergy @TakomaParkMD @mdvolt @TeslaMaryland Perhaps the fact that max charging speed was only 50kW hurt utilization?

Takoma Park, Maryland. The first gas station in the US to be converted to EV charging. RIP 🪦

@wmata Fixed! Thank you for restoring this former L7 stop for the M22

@alfredcarr Hello Al. Thanks for reaching out and for your feedback. There is no update at this time. - JF

Hi @wmataGM. I would like to request @wmata add a stop for SB M22 at University Blvd W & East Ave in Wheaton. There is already a @MCDOTNow RideOn stop there for routes 34 & 4. Housing, shopping & food nearby. @MDSHA recently upgraded ped signals. Would reduce rider confusion.

Alex Pretti, the man who was killed by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday, was seen reading a final salute to a veteran who died in 2024 in a video shared by the service member's son. Pretti, 37, was an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Trump's immigration crackdown in his city, family members said. Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. "Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point," Mac Rudolph wrote on social media. "Also my Fathers final words to me was to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration." The Department of Homeland Security said the agent acted in self-defense after attempting to disarm Pretti, but Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said that account was "nonsense" after reviewing videos of the shooting. cbsnews.com/news/alex-jeff…

@pluginsites @borkowskirobert @PlugioUS @EVAofDC @TeslaMaryland @mdvolt @EV_ChargeAhead @OpcMd @ChargePointnet Was curious because ChargePoint normally SELLS chargers rather than owns them. Good news is that a permit for bigger, better chargers was granted by Montgomery County DPS on 1/12/26

@alfredcarr @borkowskirobert @PlugioUS @EVAofDC @TeslaMaryland @mdvolt @EV_ChargeAhead @OpcMd @ChargePointnet Here is information from MEA about the 2017 AFIP grant awards. ChargePoint was approved for 10 fast chargers at three locations. Some of these locations apparently changed.

🚨 Another EV charging site bites the dust in Maryland? 🚫 8-stall DCFC at Cabin John Village, Gone 💰 Funded by a 2017 AFIP grant from MEA, 👉🏻 upgraded in 2023 from Trinitium to ChargePoint CPE250 hardware. 💀 As of ~Jan 15, 2026, everything's gone. 😔💔 Check my 3-min video walkthrough of the empty site. RIP 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦 @MdAgDept @mkorman @fraserfor15 @shellyhettleman @BrianJFeldman #EVCharging #MarylandEV #SustainableTransport

As of this morning, the @PepcoConnect streetlight outage reporting web page is still down. I was able to report the outage by calling the service center. Call duration was about 9 minutes. The friendly rep informed me it would take up to 45 business days to change the bulb.

Good morning @PepcoConnect. I was unable to report a burned out #streetlight on Metropolitan Ave in #Kensington MD last night last night or this morning because your streetlight outage reporting web page was down. This streetlight is owned by #Pepco but leased to @MCDOTNow

Good morning @mdsha - what steps are you taking to fix your permitting process so that contractors working in the right of way understand that it is unacceptable to block sidewalks? Seen today on MD185 (Connecticut Ave) in Kensington #pedestriansafety

@Metrobusinfo Hi @wmata & @wmataGM. I hope you'll abandon plans to relocate the M22 bus at Wheaton station to bay A. The current placement at bay E is superior for Kensington-bound riders because the 3 frequent services @RideOnMCT 34 & 41 are adjacent. Avoids the need to run from bay to bay.

Changes begin today, Sunday, December 15, on 26 Metrobus routes in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Learn more at wmata.com/service/status…. #wmata

@wmata Any updates on restoring the @WMATA stop for SB M22 on Univ Blvd W, just before Conn Ave? Stop 26784 serves @RideOnMCT 4, 34 & 33 & formerly WMATA L7. Has a bench & trash can. Buses usually stop at the signal anyway so why not allow passengers to board, alight & transfer?

@alfredcarr Thanks for your follow up message, Al. We'll investigate this further. Have a great weekend! -AR

@wmata Thanks for making this change. Can you also restore a stop for the Bethesda-bound M22 at the existing RideOn stop w bench(former L7 stop) on University Blvd W just before Connecticut Ave? An M22 rider requested to stop there yesterday but the operator wasn't able @wmataGM

@alfredcarr Hey Al! Thanks for your feedback! We’ll share it with our bus planning and scheduling team. We’re actively monitoring performance to see where improvements can be made. Feedback like yours is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. -LJ

Thank you so much @alfredcarr for the wonderful shout-out!

@MCDOTNow @Rockville411 @CSX @mcpnews @MontgomeryCoMD @311MC311 Why?

⚠️IMPORTANT UPDATE⚠️ This road closure on Randolph Road in @Rockville411 will now begin at 9:00pm on Friday, October 10, 2025! @CSX will be temporarily closing the railroad track crossing on Randolph Road and reopening it on October 17, 2025. @mcpnews @MontgomeryCoMD @311MC311

Around arterial roads with lots of electric vehicle chargers, declines in nitrogen oxide emissions lead to improved birth outcomes and fewer asthma problems among young kids: nber.org/papers/w34278

The project to replace an out-of-service charging station at 3355a Benning Road NE near I-295 is now complete! In partnership with taxicab operator Transco Inc., @doee_dc added four high-capacity DC fast charging ports. To learn more about this project: shorturl.at/nVUgj

@MontgomeryParks Can you explain how the process works? Is there a draft CIP on which we can comment? Or is it just free form, open mike night?
