Allison Scott, Red Line Senior Project Director for the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), spoke at a recent session of our Transportation 101 workshop series. T101 participants were briefed on the status of how MTA is revitalizing the Red Line, a long-planned east-west rapid transit corridor that was cancelled in 2015.
