The BRTB members voted in favor of the spending program.

Eric Norton from our team is testifying. He read back an official response from the BRTB to a public comment. He pointed out that it was full of inaccurate assertions such as that widening highways is good for the environment. “It’s wrong and you all should know better.”

The presentation of the proposed spending program indicates that it includes more spending on transit than recent 4-year spending programs. This is in response to public comments asking for more investment in transit.

MTA dropped the word, but investment --or the lack of it-- is a choice made by the Governor and legislators every year when they update the budget. They added weekend service on the Penn Line in 2013. Let’s add improvements from this plan in the next @MarylandDOT budget. 2/2.

The @mtamaryland published the MARC Growth & Transformation Plan. Is this about the 4th update of this plan since 2007? It used to be called the MARC Growth and Investment Plan. 🎩 1/2.

“When Gov. Moore’s first term comes to an end, it will be the seventh consecutive gubernatorial term with no expansion of the Baltimore region’s public transportation system. " -- Brian O’Malley, president of Central Maryland Transportation Alliance .
