Chris was effective, thoughtful, and result-focused in his role working for the DC Council. He touched many lives and made DC a better place to live, work, go to school, and play. He passed away in January of this year. We’ll miss him.

As jurisdictions in the greater Washington region envision better bus systems and talk to riders about how to serve their needs, Prince George’s County will shortly release their Transit Vision Plan. Concerns remain about the funding source, but riders and advocates say the investment will pay off.
