The Maryland Transit Administration will hold seven Purple Line Community Advisory Team meetings in May, featuring representatives from local communities, civic and business associations, and municipal governments.
The meetings will cover the Purple Line communities of Silver Spring (May 7), University Boulevard (May 9), Bethesda-Chevy Chase (May 14), Greater Lyttonsville-Woodside (May 21), and Long Branch (May 23).
