Are We Better Off?

We must not continue this madness. Better transit options will help workers get to jobs, such as those at Tradepoint Atlantic and Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, to name just two employers. And many of our children who rely on public transportation to get to school will no longer have to endure commutes of more than an hour.

Gov. Wes Moore and leaders in the General Assembly have expressed support for expanded public transportation and other nonhighway projects. Let’s see if they deliver. Or will their promises go unfulfilled while the status quo remains?

It’s time for Maryland to begin building a balanced transportation system that serves everyone. The Transportation and Climate Alignment Act will help us get there. Let your elected officials know how important this is to you. — Will Baker, Board Member, Transportation Alliance
