WHAT CAN YOU DO?

A4ST was formed to provide a forum for the many individuals and community groups who have serious questions about a plan to spend close to $2 billion on a transportation project that doesn’t solve the area’s biggest transportation problems at a time when the state is arguably in financial crisis.

The Alliance has just begun to organize and recruit supporters.  We recently launched a petition drive and secured a large number of signatures in only a few days.  We are forming an executive committee to assist in running the organization and are meeting with many local citizens, civic and neighborhood associations throughout the area.  The Alliance is dedicated to promoting fiscally responsible mass transit planning that will bring much needed relief. 

If you agree with the goals and mission of the Alliance, there is more you can do:

• Volunteer to Help Spread the Word
  Help distribute literature at meetings and community events.
  
  
• Write Letters to Local Elected Officials
  Let them know you have serious questions about how the state is going to spend transportation dollars! Your elected officials WANT to hear your voice, so make phone calls, write letters, and send emails now!
  
  
• Write Letters To The Editor of Your Local Newspaper
  
  
• Help Us Grow the Ranks
  Add your name to the A4ST list.  Show decision makers that, contrary to much of what’s been featured in the press, there are many people and communities in the region who are concerned about the Purple Line.  To add your name, send an email to info@a4stmd.com.
  
  
• Invite Us to Come Out to Talk with Your Community
  We would be happy to send concerned members out to talk to your neighbors about the issues and challenges, as well as options that may provide more efficient quicker solutions to our traffic congestion.
  
  
• Make a Donation
  Help us continue to promote a public dialogue asking the question about whether the Purple Line is the best use of our transportation dollars to ameliorate traffic problems.
  
  
• Spread the Word
  Talk to your friends, neighbors, etc. encourage them to visit www.a4stmd.com to learn more about the issues and to register their concerns.

PETITIONS

We have just begun to circulate petitions and reach out to people throughout Montgomery and Prince George's Counties who have concerns about the Purple Line plan. Until now, many people raising questions have not been seen or heard by public officials. If you would like to take a petition around your neighborhood, please contact us.
