I am so damn frustrated from advocating for a dedicated bus lane on US 29 for over five years and seeing no results. We are so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to transit
See what Mexico has accomplished by converting car lanes to bus & bike lanes.

Short 🧵 on the Montgomery County Executive race and lack of dedicated bus lanes on US 29.
My story starts in April 2017: @SeanJEmerson and I visited the @MoCoCouncilMD in Rockville to pitch the idea of adding a bus lane on US 29. We even brought a scale model!

We knew that Montgomery County was not going to convert existing car lanes to bus lanes (too much backlash anticipated)
So instead we proposed narrowing the existing six lanes and squeezing a bus lane into the median. We still got backlash nonetheless!

Good morning on Day 4 of the #transitchallenge! I opted not to cross Indian Spring Drive at Colesville Road (see yesterday’s post) and am instead on a @RideOnMCT 9 headed toward Wheaton. The roads are slick; be safe today.
While waiting for the Q2 bus I got to catch up with a buddy who just just graduated from @MCPS Northwood High School and is off to @montgomerycoll in the fall. Congratulations, Rohan!

Mixing it up this evening for my trip to the @TGBChamber annual dinner in the @Pike_District. Taking @RideOnMCT Route 101 express service instead of Metrorail down Rockville Pike from the Rockville station: #TransitChallenge
Just missed the 101 on way over but bumped into @rachelvetica, @montgomerycoll student journalist and transit/ped. advocate. Since the bus comes every 10 minutes, I won’t be late to my event but unfortunately didn’t get much time to catch up. #TransitChallenge @actfortransit
Making good time on @RideOnMCT Route 101 and seeing plenty of passengers accessing Rockville Pike locations that aren’t as accessible from Metro stations. Only thing better would be dedicated lanes! #TransitChallenge @actfortransit
I'm looking forward to doing the #TransitChallenge again next week! Here are some tips from my challenge in March (also see the amazing list from @rachelvetica).
Thank you @actfortransit @Andrew_Friedson @EvanMGlass @willjawando @hansriemer @CaseyAndersonPB @natalifani

Add some extra time to your walking route on your #TransitChallenge because you’re bound to run into constituents who want to talk on your way to/from the bus stop or Metro station. Having a chance to talk with more people is one of the best parts of not driving!
If you’re traveling with young kids, bring along extra clothes and hand wipes. My 3 year old took advantage of our #TransitChallenge to test out the dirt-digging opportunities at bus stops throughout metropolitan DC. Extra clothes and wipes would have come in handy.
