Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Prince George's County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Residential parking and vehicle enforcement
Two bills would tighten parking rules: one clarifying the ban on parking on unpaved residential yards and who enforces it, and another addressing vehicle parking and impoundment.
FY2027 transportation grant funding
The county wants a green light to chase federal and state transportation grants for fiscal 2027 — money for roads, transit and highway safety projects. Winning grants stretches local tax dollars further.
Transit service along Route 1
Residents want better bus connections linking Konterra, Laurel, Beltsville, and Muirkirk Station, including extending the popular P17X express bus to Laurel and adding bus rapid transit features on Route 1.
Stop sign cameras in New Carrollton and Bladensburg
Two municipalities want to install stop sign monitoring cameras — New Carrollton at up to 100 potential locations near three schools, Bladensburg at 48 locations. The towns pay for everything and keep the fine revenue; the county just approves the locations.
Sunday bus service begins June 2026
The county's fixed-route transit system will run on Sundays starting in June — a first — giving residents seven-day access to jobs and necessities as ridership roughly doubles post-COVID.
