Stop I-495 & I-270 Expansion 

Contribute to the Smart Growth Defense Fund to take a stand against Maryland's plans to expand I-495 & I-270 with private toll lanes! Together we can protect our environment and communities from a harmful highway project that would increase greenhouse gas emissions, worsen sprawl, and deepen inequities. Read about our recent legal action and past legal and technical comments. In March 2024, the judge for the Beltway/I-270 toll lanes case issued a 68-page decision ruling in favor of the agencies. Sierra Club, National Trust, and NRDC filed an appeal in May 2024.
