At @NatCapRegTPB today we received a revised plan for the I-495 Southside Express Lanes Study from Virginia Transportation Secretary Donohue. There are great improvements but we still have more work to do.

APTA 2026 TRANSform & EXPO did not disappoint. Earlier this month I traveled to Chicago w/Team @wmata for the largest public transportation conference in North America. It was great to connect with industry leaders & check out cutting-edge technologies of the future. #aptaEXPO

Check your mailbox! The Transportation Planning Board might have sent you a postcard. If you received one, we want to hear about how you travel. Your input helps shape better roads, transit, sidewalks, and bike lanes in the DMV for the next 20 years. bit.ly/4ziPPL5

Data centers should not be by-right development. They should not be near people, they should not be taking our precious natural resources, they should not be raising our utility rates and they have no place being near one of the most densely populated sections of our community.

Had a great time at Patrick Henry Rec Center's Hispanic Heritage Celebration. I was bummed I couldn’t compete in the pupusa eating contest but then again two food challenges in one day might have been a bit much for me 😅 #AlexandriaVA #LatinoHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth
