Equitable, efficient and reliable — a wish list for regional transit in the Baltimore area

The future of public transit for the Baltimore region is at a critical juncture. Those of us who have been advocating for a reliable, efficient and equitable system were heartened by the announcement in June 2023 by Gov. Wes Moore that he is committed to restarting planning and construction of the Red Line east-west transit service that was abandoned eight years ago by the previous administration. The region has missed many opportunities to invest in a robust public transportation system in the past and cannot afford to do so again.
