Transit nerd. Opinions are my own.
Today is my last day @mta.maryland.gov. After 13 years, I'm closing this chapter but never closing the door on my love for transit.
I'm grateful for the people, passengers, & partners who made this work meaningful.
I'll always be cheering on the MTA team.
I'll see you on the bus!

Thanks to the @mta.maryland.gov team for helping BTS fans get to and from the stadium the past two nights. The Camden MARC train was a popular addition!

After more than 13 years at @mta.maryland.gov including 5 as Administrator, I have made the decision to step away.
Working alongside MTA team has been the honor of my career. I am proud of what we accomplished & grateful for the employees who work every day to move Maryland.

“Transit does more than just move people from place to place. [This TOD at Bowie MARC station is] creating access to jobs, to education, to healthcare, recreation, cultural spaces, this amazing university,” @mdotmtaholly.bsky.social said.💜
State and local officials touted a transit-oriented development project for the MARC station at Bowie State University that would bring hundreds of affordable housing units to Prince George’s County, but could take several years to come to fruition.

The @mta.maryland.gov is investing in new vehicles! This morning, I caught a new Metro car & this afternoon a new hybrid bus. We are also evaluating bids for replacement Light Rail vehicles & battery electric MARC locomotives. New vehicles will improve reliability across the system!

It's @mta.maryland.gov MARC Monday! Started the day with easy transfers from 54->Gold->Penn Station. Ran into neighbors & friends on the street & the bus. Got work done on the train. Transit creates opportunities for chance interactions and frees up time to do other things!

Service anniversaries are a big deal at @mta.maryland.gov & yesterday we celebrated several of our Eastern Maintenance employees for 10-25 years of service. That's 25 years of ensuring buses are safe & reliable for our riders to keep the region moving! (1/2)
