📢 @WillJawando: Tell Governor Moore to say no to more expensive, polluting highways. Montgomery County opposes the toll lanes project to expand the Beltway and I-270. Don't hand our highways over to private developers. #BeltwayExpansion #StopPollutingHighways #No4ProfitTollLanes

📣@GovWesMoore stop private for-profit highway developers from expanding I-495 and I-270. Their plan will mean high tolls, won't solve congestion, and will increase air pollution. Say No to #BeltwayExpansion. #No4ProfitTollLanes
.@GovWesMoore Cancel the I-495/I-270 expansion project that will exacerbate environmental injustice & increase climate pollution! #StopBeltwayExpansion

Transurban announced it is withdrawing from the I-495/I-270 toll lanes project. The retreat by Transurban is a testament to the power of grassroots opposition to a plan that put our environment, communities and wallets at risk. marylandmatters.org/2023/03/…
The I-495/I-270 toll lanes project is now in the hands of Governor-elect Wes Moore, State Treasurer Dereck Davis and Comptroller-elect Brooke Lierman.
Despite 5-year push to get Va.-style toll lanes plan approved, Hogan runs out of time. marylandmatters.org/2022/11/…

@SierraClubMD, @FriendsofMoses (Morningstar),
@SavingPlaces (NTHP) and @NRDC filed a federal lawsuit today. “The state and federal government must consider [the toll lane project's] true costs to health, equity, historic preservation, and the environment."sierraclub.org/maryland/blog…
The Federal Highway Administration has informed the State of Maryland that it will delay a decision on whether or not to approve the I-495/I-270 toll lanes. It appears that MDOT will be required to continue to accept comments on the FEIS from the public. cabe495.com/feds-delay-decis…

This Washington Post editorial is right. We need to act now on climate crisis. @GovLarryHogan must take heed and halt plan to add toll lanes to I-495/I-270, which will increase greenhouse gas emissions and won’t reduce congestion. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
👀 Toll lanes planned for part of the Capital Beltway and Interstate 270 in Maryland would not improve traffic congestion in the regular lanes during the evening commute, according to a state study released Friday. washingtonpost.com/transport…

Just saying, using travel data from one of the busiest HOLIDAY WEEKENDS(!!!) of the year to prove your point about needing high cost toll lanes for regular commuting seems unconvincing...🤷♂️

It takes a lot of nerve to tweet this about a meeting that approved a $6 billion project to increase pollution and encourage the use of climate-destroying fossil fuels teapawt.net/MDEnvironment/status/1…
More than $32M in funding approved by @MarylandBPW to reduce pollution and increase the use of climate-friendly renewable energy.
