At MetroNow, we remain committed to our Metrorail and bus networks as the backbone of our regional economy. In 2022, we will keep pressing for adequate transit funding, a regional bus network redesign, dedicated bus lanes, and fare and service improvements critical for our workforce, economy, equity, and environment.
The MetroNow Coalition hopes you will add your voice to the growing chorus of residents and stakeholders saying, “Now is the time for better transit!“
