    <head>Historical Information</head>
<p>Montgomery County, located just outside Washington, D.C., includes the cities of Rockville, Silver Spring, and Bethesda, and is one of the most populous counties in Maryland. As a result, the county offers access to a large number of public transportation options, including WMTA Metro Rail and Bus, Maryland Transit Administration Commuter rail lines (MARC), Amtrak, and the county's local Ride On bus system. Initially, management of transportation in the county fell under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works until the Department of Transportation was formed in 1972. In 1996 the Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&amp;T) was created to bring together the Department of Transportation, the Department of Facilities and Services, and the Division of Solid Waste Services into a single government department responsible for all aspects of transportation safety, convenience, planning, operations, and maintenance.</p>  </bioghist>

    <head>Scope and Content</head>
<p>A map of public transportation in Montgomery County, Maryland, effective January 14, 2001, titled "Montgomery County Transit Map." When unfolded, one side shows a full page map, with corresponding legend, of various public transportation routes and stations to and from Montgomery County and the surrounding area of Maryland, including Metrorail, Maryland Commuter Rail (MARC), and the Ride On bus system, as well as routes into Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. The map also identifies major interstate routes, such as I-495, and sights of interest, such as public libraries. The other side includes four sections of text, three in English and one in Spanish, under the headings "Welcome to Your Ride On Bus System," "Bienvenidos al Sistema de Autobuses Ride On de Montgomery County," "Passenger/Student Bill of Rights," and "Passenger/Student Responsibilities." This side also includes three insert maps showing public transportation routes in Rockville, Bethesda, and Silver Spring, a section labeled "Ride On and Metrobus Route Information," a list of Ride On fares, contact information, and a list labeled "Ride On Holiday Service," as well as a title page for when the map is folded.</p>  </scopecontent>
