254 Lynda LaughlinUMUC instructorWe must come up with real solutions to the traffic problems in the DC area. The purple line would show the Maryland and the University are committed to postive change for generations to come.
255 Paul DiPaoloUndergraduateThis project is vital for the furtherment of the university. Efficient public transit is crucial in creating a better atmosphere on campus, reducing the traffic problems on campus and making the campus more accessible to better students and faculty. The Campus Drive plan is unquestionably the most sensible proposals for it does exactly what public transportation is designed to do: reach the masses of people as Stamp Union is the campus's main hub. A light-rail train running pas the "M" would do no more in detracting from it's aesthetic quality than the thousands of cars the drive past it each day do. Go Purple Line!

263 patrick starttalumniThe Campus Drive location is the best and most practical option for bringing the Purple Line through campus and maximizing ridership. Do not build the line anywhere else.

269 AnonymousnoneI lived carless for years in D.C., but have found it difficult to continue once I moved to College Park, despite being within walking distance of the Metro. Trips beyond Metro Center are usually an overcrowded, overlong slog...which, I'm ashamed to admit, has gotten me driving again. The Purple Line would make many people's lives easier!
270 Adam LindquistUniversity of MarylandI've been riding the MARC from Baltimore to Union Station and then taking the Metro to College Park but it just takes too long! If there were a line connecting New Carrollton to UMD College Park it would make CP accessible to MARC riders all along the Penn Line. Sadly, I will be driving once the semester starts because mass transit takes more than twice as long.

281 Timothy A KoseckiUMUCThis proposition will alleviate much of the commuter traffic in the Silver Spring and College Park areas, provide a convenient method of accessing various shopping districts located outside of the city, provide a much needed opportunity for fans of the Terrapins and Redskins to utilize the mass transit system, and increase the efficiency of an underplanned and overfilled urban metropolis.
