Our August newsletter includes construction updates, Beyond the Rails Community Grant Awardees and more. 

This month, the Purple Line celebrated another major milestone, officially welcoming the first light rail vehicle (LRV) to Maryland.

It’s mid-May and our 2024 spring series of Community Advisory Team (CAT) meetings are in full swing.

Our April newsletter includes exciting photos across the alignment. Purple Line stations taking shape and visible track are some of the most recent milestones indicating that Maryland’s newest light rail system is making progress!

Welcome to the Purple Line Newsletter! This week, we're sharing new information about the Purple Line project, and it's important that our stakeholders, Community Advisory Team members, businesses and agency partners learn this news from me directly.

This month's newsletter includes an interview with the Purple Line's Real Property Director, Brenda Fuller, a lifetime Prince George's County resident with a decade of leadership experience in public transit.

Happy New Year! Have you noticed that claiming a "word of the year" in January has gained popularity? Here at the Purple Line, our teams chose MOMENTUM as our word for 2024.

Approximately 170,000 people live within a half-mile radius of the Purple Line alignment, and the new transit service will introduce opportunities to Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and beyond to help bring more equitable economic development through improved transit access.

It's the season of gratitude, and from all the team members working on the Purple Line, I’m sharing a big thank you for the recent engagement and support we received during our fall meetings held virtually with neighborhoods along the alignment.

Purple Line activity in September included project progress tours with elected officials. October is an exciting month for the Purple Line as we launch our fall series of Community Advisory Team (CAT) meetings.
