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.

Take Action:

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. 

ACT:
Call Virginina Governor Tim Kaine, 804-786-2211, or click here to send e-mail via the Governor’s website:
http://www.governor.virginia.gov/AboutTheGovernor/contactGovernor.cfm
Call Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, 800-811-8336, Governor@Gov.State.MD.US

More Information:

Key Point: We need to move forward with preliminary engineering analysis of options for rail on the bridge. 2005's Federal Transportation Bill gave the authorization to go ahead, but neither MD nor VA has acted. Click here for all the details.
