 | | A public transportation system along Campus Drive, dubbed the Purple Line, could be more likely to move forward under Gov.-elect Martin O'Malley, increasing the chances of connecting this university with surrounding areas while reducing traffic congestion, said a university official. |
 | | The Purple Line, which would consist of either light rail trains or bus rapid transit, would connect the university to New Carollton in the east and Silver Spring and Bethesda in the west, with stops in Langley Park and other areas lacking Metro stops along the way. |
 | | Officially known as the Bi-County Transitway, the Purple Line has gained strong support from the university, which sees it as an opportunity to encourage students to commute and draw development to the area, said John Porcari, vice president of administrative affairs. |
