Property Acquisition for the Purple Line |
|
Along most of the alignment the Purple Line is being designed on existing roadways to minimize impacts to local communities. As a result, the majority of the potential property acquisitions are narrow strips of land along roadways or parcels required for the two maintenance and storage facilities (one in each county). The MTA has made it a priority to avoid the acquisition of private property where possible, and minimize the acquisitions, where they are unavoidable.

To connect communities in Prince George's and Montgomery counties, the Maryland Transit Administration is studying a new east-west high capacity transit line. As part of Governor O'Malley's "Smart, Green & Growing" initiative, the Purple Line would provide additional transportation capacity in the congested corridor between New Carrollton and Bethesda; provide faster, more reliable connections between existing Metro, MARC and Amtrak stations; and support economic development in both counties. This website is your source for current project facts and figures, as well as your way to participate in the study process. |
