📢 @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

[CABE @495CABE]

📣@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

[CABE @495CABE]

.@GovWesMoore Cancel the I-495/I-270 expansion project that will exacerbate environmental injustice & increase climate pollution! #StopBeltwayExpansion

[CABE @495CABE]

.@GovWesMoore wants to expand I-495/I-270. Send a message to the County Council, urge them to stop it. Write a letter here: https://t.co/E33kqmzDyV

If you agree that we need to increase transit and remote work and reduce vehicle miles traveled, take this MDOT survey by July 10. Under "Choosing Key Outcomes," select "Environmental Stewardship" and then click on the option to "Reduce vehicle-miles-of-travel (VMT) per capita."

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. https://t.co/lMrnwFNBLv

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. https://t.co/3hsA0wwZA0

@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."https://t.co/0Vv3wfZeHe

A key federal agency has delayed Maryland’s plan to build toll lanes on the Capital Beltway and I-270, the latest setback for the star-crossed project. https://t.co/pWBv42P00u

[CABE @495CABE]

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. https://t.co/pjiRqR6EvO

[Maryland Sierra Club @sierraclubmd]

In response to the letter @joshtulkin, Director w/Maryland Sierra Club stated- “It’s disappointing Gov. Hogan is again resorting to blaming and name calling when this outcome is the logical result of his administration’s repeated efforts to cut corners for a flawed plan...

Check out https://t.co/3gEWWpNUcJ, the new web site from @TransitforMD. Learn the truth about MDOT's disastrous I-495/I-270 toll lanes scheme.

[CABE @495CABE]

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. https://t.co/jaW9jkKEA1

[CABE @495CABE]

👀 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. https://t.co/ZWpvvaDgQ2

[Delegate Jared Solomon @jaredssolomon]

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...🤷‍♂️

[No More (X)itter @RichardEricD]

Deeply disappointed with @GovLarryHogan and @peterfranchot for voting for #antitransit climate-busting highway expansion

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 https://t.co/1uOiWdxAU5

[Montgomery County, MD - County Exec Marc Elrich @MontCoExec]

I appreciate all the support and effort on behalf of our elected leaders and advocates fighting against this Governor’s 270/495 expansion and tolling plan. Please read this @washingtonpost op-ed by MoCo Del. @jaredssolomon and Sen. @Willcsmithjr https://t.co/XexwIKIcKl
