MARC Train Chief Transportation Officer Dave "DJ" Johnson and Assistant Chief Transportation Officer Katherine Read congratulate Amtrak Union Station usher Pam Michaux (center) on her retirement after 38 years working for Amtrak. She had staffed the MARC Gate B Information Desk since 2012, interacting with MARC customers on her regular Monday-Friday morning assignment as well as covering afternoon shifts and even weekends. Pam's last day is Friday and we wish her the best as she begins her well-earned retirement. Stop by Gate B and wish her well! #WeAreYourMDOTMTA #mdotnews https://www.instagram.com/p/BmQbu2uA6ng/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vq4wrs15k9q1

Come Dance2Fitness (that’s the program’s name) this Saturday from 9:00-10:00 a.m. at the Inner Harbor’s West Short Park, 401 Light Street, downtown. It’s part of the Waterfront Wellness series to promote healthy habits in ways that just happen to be fun. Since street parking is tight and paid parking is expensive, it’s the perfect opportunity to take transit. Consult the Trip Planner at mta.maryland.gov, then use the Transit app to know exactly when your bus will arrive to get you there. Series runs each weekend through September 16, same location. (Check out Waterfront Partnership on Facebook for the latest on class changes or cancellations.) #WeAreYourMDOTMTA #mdotnews

Mother Goose is extra proud of her first two hatchlings (Linky and BLinky) to make it onto the scene at Northwest Bus Division. Father Goose expressed his gratitude with a “thank-you” honk to all the devoted MDOT MTA bus operators and mechanics who made the safety and nurturing of their annual visitors a priority over the past month or so. By this morning, all seven goslings had departed the scene in search of new adventures. See you next year, feathered friends! #WeAreYourMDOTMTA #mdotnews
