Quick grassroots action can make a huge difference. Our coalition is urging US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to push back against MDOT’s mad rush to finalize the toll-lane scheme.
MDOT, on June 17, issued the project’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS): 26,500 pages, much of it new. MDOT gave the public only 30 days to review all it. Impossible!
Grassroots groups and elected officials are requesting a 60-day extension and formal comment period. But federal agencies with the power to approve the project need to hear from large numbers of activists like you. ASAP.
Please use this easy correspondence tool to send a quick message requesting an extension and public comment period. Use the text provided and/or add your own words.
For more inspiration, see this powerful request for an extension sent to federal officials on July 8 by theMontgomery County Delegation to the Maryland General Assembly.
