I’m thankful for the leadership of @MWCOG, @wmata, @NoVaTransit, and @wmataGM working these past many months to put forward a comprehensive roadmap for the regions transit systems.
Today was a historic day for the region! The @wmata and @mwcog boards jointly endorsed the DMMoves plan to modernize 🚇 & expand regional 🚌 service. Next action is to secure the $460m in upcoming legislative sessions in VA/DC/MD. This is critical for Metro’s & region’s future.

Clean, reliable water is essential to our health and economy, but much of our water infrastructure is aging, according to @TheValueofWater's new economic report. COG is taking action by serving as a forum for collaboration, providing data for informed decision-making, and more.

If you still have #fall yard waste laying around, it may be tempting to burn it, but that's a bad idea. 🚫 Burning yard waste—or adding it to campfires—releases toxic gases & particles into the air.👎 Reduce #AirPollution by composting it instead.

In our region, COG identified a $20B water infrastructure funding gap over 10 years. That’s why we convene state and local reps, utilities, and water experts to protect the future health and safety of our residents. 🚰

This is why COG and partners are conducting a critical backup water source study with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. https://t.co/bx0MjPbcoW Read @TheValueofWater's latest report at

DYK? The Potomac River supplies water to ~6M people in the region – it’s the single drinking water source for DC and Arlington. Just 24hrs of disruption would result in over $70M in losses in the region.

We have a challenge for you this fall: be bold, sleep cold! If you set the thermostat a few degrees lower while you sleep, you'll reduce #emissions, conserve #energy, and, according to @SleepFoundation, you may even sleep better, too.😴
