 Opportunity to Comment  on Maryland's Transit Funding Recommendations


 

Baltimore Regional Transit Governance and Funding Workgroup DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONSDecember 2022

FEEDBACK SOUGHT ON TRANSIT GOVERNANCE AND FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS

BMC's Transit Governance and Funding Workgroup is seeking comments through Friday, December 23 on a draft set of recommendations for the future of transit in the Baltimore region.

BMC's Board of Directors established the Transit Governance and Funding Workgroup in July 2022 with the objective of preparing recommendations regarding the management of transit in the Baltimore region.

The workgroup has reviewed options detailed in a 2021 Baltimore Regional Transit Governance and Funding Study and is preparing a formal recommendation to the BMC Board of Directors, Maryland General Assembly and Governor. Additionally, the workgroup reviewed funding associated with the Locally Operated Transit Systems (LOTS) program, seeking to increase equity and transparency in the distribution of those funds.

After the first meeting in September, the workgroup convened monthly to discuss and build consensus around a set of recommendations. These meetings have included opportunities for public comment virtually and in-person. Now, members of the public are welcome to comment on these draft recommendations by December 23. A final report will be released in January.
