one "monumental debacle" at a time, please

SILVER SPRING TRANSIT CENTER

PURPLE LINE

  • BOTH are public-private partnerships
  • SSTC is severely flawed, grossly overdue & grossly over-budget
  • Purple Line's projected cost is $2.45 BILLION
  • Funding for the SSTC is 53% federal, 11% state (MD) & 36% county (Montgomery)
  • Funding for the Purple Line is 68% federal, 20% state, 8% county (Montgomery & Prince George's) & 3% private
  • BOTH have public contracts awarded non-competitively to private companies

STOP THE MADNESS!!!

ONLY ONE "MONUMENTAL DEBACLE" AT A TIME!!!
