In the short term, focus on Montgomery County, with MCDOT doing a lot of the engineering work and the Executive/Council providing funding and overall leadership and coordination amongst MCDOT, MPD and others
Targets for Action
MCDOT (and MDSHA)

Big Picture
Hire a FTE coordinator with direct pipeline to County Executive
Create a 10 year VZ plan
Set funding levels in Capital/Operating Budgets

SLOW(er) SPEEDS
REDUCE SPEED LIMITS
Even without any other change, can reduce average speeds of cars.
