MTA needs a third-party assessment to improve Baltimore region transit now

While we fully support calls to prevent Gov. Wes Moore’s proposed cuts to Baltimore’s transit service, stopping these cuts alone will only preserve a dysfunctional system that demoralizes current riders, discourages new ones and continues to damage the Baltimore region. And while we applaud Governor Moore’s efforts to revive the Red Line, Baltimore transit riders also cannot wait until the Red Line is built for long overdue improvements in the Maryland Transit Administration’s (MTA) bus and rail service.
