Fully Fund Maryland Public Transit

Tell Gov. Hogan to sign the Transit Safety and Investment Act—today! #SaveMDtransit

Act Now

Gov. Hogan needs to hear from YOU! 

The Transit Safety & Investment Act has passed both houses in the Maryland General Assembly. Now the bill goes to Gov. Hogan. We are urging him to sign it into law when it reaches his  desk.

Marylanders overwhelmingly agree: investments in public transit are critical. In fact, there’s almost unanimous agreement (96%) among Maryland voters that investment in public transit is important—so that essential workers can get to work safely and on time.

A safe and reliable transit system is critical for a strong economic recovery from COVID-19, improved transportation equity, and reduced traffic pollution.

Take action today! Send an email to Gov. Hogan urging him to vote for the Transit Safety and Investment Act. Use the form to the right (or below on mobile).

It's time to invest in public transit, not decimate it.

We demand that the Hogan administration:

  • Show us the money. Gov. Hogan cut the state’s share of MDOT MTA’s budget by $188 million, a 21% reduction. No other MDOT modal administration sees its state investment cut by more than 8%. Why?
  • Support essential workers. Roughly four in 10 transit riders are essential workers — the people who hold our communities together, such as grocery clerks, nurses, lab techs, and sanitation and utility workers.
  • Prioritize transit. There's more to transportation than highways. Let’s get people out of cars to reduce congestion and pollution.
  • Support Maryland’s economy. There is no recovery if a large portion of our workforce cannot get to work safely and reliably. Transit is essential to move our economy forward.
  • Support communities of color. Investing in smart, clean, reliable, public transit should be a right, not a privilege. The time is now.
  • Build back better. Maryland should be a leader in public transit, not the system with the most breakdowns.
