Today is my last day @mta.maryland.gov. After 13 years, I'm closing this chapter but never closing the door on my love for transit. I'm grateful for the people, passengers, & partners who made this work meaningful. I'll always be cheering on the MTA team. I'll see you on the bus!

Thanks to the @mta.maryland.gov team for helping BTS fans get to and from the stadium the past two nights. The Camden MARC train was a popular addition!

There is a bus bridge in place between North Avenue and Camden Yards due to a crash until further notice. https://mta.maryland.gov/service-alerts/28066

After more than 13 years at @mta.maryland.gov including 5 as Administrator, I have made the decision to step away.   Working alongside MTA team has been the honor of my career. I am proud of what we accomplished & grateful for the employees who work every day to move Maryland.

“Transit does more than just move people from place to place. [This TOD at Bowie MARC station is] creating access to jobs, to education, to healthcare, recreation, cultural spaces, this amazing university,” @mdotmtaholly.bsky.social said.💜

MTA service is a great option to go to Charles St. Promenade w/ @mta.maryland.gov Light Rail stopping two blocks away at Mt. Royal or taking Metro to Charles Center. Our team is out to answer questions & you can check out a bus. Loving seeing so many people out! #StreetsAreForPeople

It's @mta.maryland.gov MARC Monday! Started the day with easy transfers from 54->Gold->Penn Station. Ran into neighbors & friends on the street & the bus. Got work done on the train. Transit creates opportunities for chance interactions and frees up time to do other things!

Service anniversaries are a big deal at @mta.maryland.gov & yesterday we celebrated several of our Eastern Maintenance employees for 10-25 years of service. That's 25 years of ensuring buses are safe & reliable for our riders to keep the region moving! (1/2)
