Purple Line NOW celebrated the strides made in 2011 and 2012 to move the Purple Line forward and honored the first-ever, Purple Line arts competition. The event featured works of art that celebrate how the Purple Line will connect communities and improve the transportation experience for commuters, students, shoppers, sports fans and other travelers using sleek, clean, quiet light rail trains.

Delegate Tom Hucker spoke about the importance of building the Purple Line. Councilmembers Roger Berliner, George Leventhal and Hans Riemer each spoke about Montgomery County's strong commitment to the Purple Line and the urgent need to develop a stable funding source to rebuild the state Transportation Trust Fund.

Thank you to all who sponsored, bought tickets, and helped to make this a terrific event.
