Welcome

The Purple Line study is moving forward with a renewed energy. The new Secretary of Transportation for Maryland, John Porcari, restored the project to its former name, the Purple Line, rather than the Bi-County Transitway. While the Bi-County Transitway name reflected the two-county area of the proposed project, the Purple Line was the original name for the project and has continued to be used by most people. The project study has not changed, and the Purple Line continues to be a high transportation priority.

We'd like to meet with you

If your community association or neighborhood organization is interested in meeting with the MTA on the Purple Line to discuss specific concerns or questions, please contact the Project Manager, Michael Madden.


Please Join Us at our Open Houses!

The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will hold a series of Open Houses on the Purple Line Study. These meetings will include updated information from the Open Houses held this past winter and will be the last round of large public meetings before the Alternatives Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement (AA/DEIS) is released this fall.

Give us your feedback on:

  • Updated Travel Times, Costs, and Ridership
  • Ridership by Station
  • Results of the Environmental Impact Statement
  • Purple Line Options Serving Your Community
