Transportation

Montgomery County residents deserve better options — to commute, get around, and get on with their lives.

The Washington DC Metro area has some of the worst traffic in the country — taking the average resident over an hour to commute every day. Fatmata understands that too many residents are spending too much time in traffic. Our public transportation also does not meet the needs of all county residents by providing reliable transportation throughout the county. Fatmata will fight for a transportation system that works for everyone.

Improve WMATA Access and Complete the Purple Line

Fatmata will work with regional leaders to improve WMATA access and affordability, as well as get a real timeline on the completion of the Purple Line — providing more consistency in alternatives to driving for Montgomery County commuters and residents.

Expand Bike Lanes and Protections for Cyclists

Fatmata will work to increase bike lanes across the county so more people can bike to and from work as well as for leisure. She will also fight to create more protections for bikers to decrease the danger on major roads — making cycling a safe, viable option for more county residents.

Expand RideOn Services

Fatmata will fight to expand RideOn services to more areas of the county and with more frequency. More consistency in public transportation grows ridership, reduces traffic, and makes for safer roads — giving every resident a reliable way to get where they need to go.

Why This Matters for Montgomery County

Transportation is about more than getting from Point A to Point B. It is about access to opportunity. When residents can get to work reliably, when students can get to school safely, when people of all abilities can move freely through their community, the whole county is stronger. Transportation equity is economic equity — and Fatmata will treat it that way.

Whether you drive, take the bus, ride a bike, or walk — your commute matters. Fatmata will fight to build a transportation system that treats every resident's time and safety as the priority they deserve to be.
