With $960K, lawmakers commit to better connect Howard County transit to Baltimore area

With $960,000 in a federal funding grant, Howard County will be better connected to Baltimore suburbs with two heavy-duty transit buses, which will allow for more accessible local transit options for commuters, according to a press release from U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin. The Maryland Department of Transportation and Howard County will be able to use the funds to purchase the new buses, which will be used to extend Route 409 by 5 miles from its existing endpoint in Elkridge in Howard County to Lansdowne Station in Baltimore County.
