🏍️ Ride safe. Ride sober.

A motorcycle has no margin for error. Add alcohol, even a couple of drinks, and the reaction time you need to stay upright is gone.

[Montgomery County (MD) DOT – Ride On @RideOnMCT]

This is EXACTLY the kind of development America should be building. 🚇🏙️🔥

The New Carrollton station in Maryland is being transformed into a 2.3 MILLION square foot mixed-use district built around one of the most connected transit hubs on the East Coast.

It will connect:
🚇 Metro @wmata
🚈 @PurpleLineMD
🚆 @Amtrak
🚆 MARC
🚌 Multiple bus networks

And instead of surrounding all that transit with parking lots, the plan is to build:
🏠 Housing
🏢 Offices
🛍️ Retail
🚶 Walkable streets
🚲 Bike-friendly infrastructure

The future of American growth isn't endless sprawl.
It's building entire neighborhoods on top of world-class transit.
