Tell Public Officials: Build the Purple Line Now!
Political conflicts, long review processes, and approval requirements—together with a lack of funding for Metro—continue to stall progress. Our public officials need to hear from you that building the Purple Line, including rail on the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge, should be among the top transportation priorities for our region. Use this sample letter to call or write to your officials today.

Ask Our Local Officials to Step It Up and Cut Carbon by 2% per Year
It's time to Step It Up and stop global warming! Our communities need to commit to cutting carbon emissions 80 % by 2050—2% per year. How?

Tell Gov. Kaine and Gov. O'Malley: Rail Now on the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge
The new Woodrow Wilson Bridge is rail-ready, but action is needed by Virginia and Maryland officials to jumpstart the effort to add Metro connections between the Yellow and Green Lines. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine and Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley have committed to improving transit in our region. Ask them to act to take action now to put rail on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Take Action for Better Metro Service
Make your voice heard to improve Metro service. Contact your public officials and urge them to act to get the new buses and railcars needed to relieve overcrowding. Improving Metro helps more people choose transit over driving, and is one of our best local solutions to global warming.
