The Transportation Alliance's five key priority initiatives further the organization's mission to improve and expand Central Maryland's transportation options.
These include:
1. Let's Get to Work
2. Red Line
3. Transit-Oriented Development
4. Transportation Improvements
5. The Case for Investment

“Let’s Get to Work” is an initiative of the Transportation Alliance. It is a strategy for implementing improvements to MARC commuter rail service that can be accomplished within a five-year time frame, and some sooner than that. MARC is the only regional commuter rail operation that serves a significant portion of Central Maryland and connects Baltimore area communities to Washington DC and its suburbs, providing access to employment and housing.

Rate Your Ride is an initiative of the Transportation Alliance. It was developed and carried out as a mechanism to improve the service being delivered by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). From September 2010 to June 2011, over 4,000 participants provided feedback on the quality of the transit service on their journey to work or school. Rate Your Ride has led to the improvement of 3 major bus routes and additional reform in the process of reporting customer experience.

The 14-mile transit line will run East and West, connecting hubs of employment and economic activity in Baltimore City and County including Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Harbor East, the Central Business District, the University of Maryland Baltimore, Security Blvd, and the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services.  An estimated 57,000 riders  per day will ultimately  use the system to access jobs, housing, education, services, and entertainment.

The State’s Transportation Trust Fund - the funding mechanism for most of the state's transportation projects - is severely depleted and insufficient to keep up with maintenance of existing infrastructure let alone fund new projects.  To insure economic vitality and access to jobs, housing, education, services, and entertainment, additional sources of revenue must be approved and the Trust Fund must be limited for transportation purposes only.
