County Executive Marc Elrich on the passing of U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings

I am deeply saddened by the passing of a great humanitarian. In this difficult time, my deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Maya, their family, friends, and the millions of others whose lives he impacted through his decades of selfless and indefatigable civil service. This is a tremendous loss for our state and the nation.

Region’s First ‘Protected Intersection’ Dedicated in Silver Spring

Montgomery County Marc Elrich and County Councilmembers Tom Hucker and Hans Riemer joined bicyclists and community members at Spring Street and Second Avenue in Downtown Silver Spring to dedicate the first “protected intersection” in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The intersection connects a new half-mile “cycletrack” completed by the County’s Department of Transportation (MCDOT) with a previously completed section to form a 1.2-mile bikeway that will connect directly to the Silver Spring Transit Center. Cycletracks provide physical separation between motor vehicles and bicycles and a protected intersection continues that protection.

What is the Census?
Every 10 years, the federal government conducts a population count of everyone in the United States.

Why is the Census important?

Every year, the federal government allocates more than $675 Billion in funding based on census data.
Every Marylander not counted costs the state approximately $18,250 over 10 years.
Census data is used to plan schools, new homes and businesses and improve neighborhoods.

Who needs to respond to the Census and is my information secure?
The census counts every household and person living in the U.S., this includes both citizens and non-citizens. The U.S. Census Bureau must keep all information confidential.
