Central Maryland Transportation Alliance

Jamie DeAntonis, a graduate of our Transportation 101 course and a member of the Redline Community Advisory team, got an opinion piece published in Greater Greater Washington blog that explains why he thinks Pratt St. is not the best location for the Redline. Why not? He says because it's 3 blocks away from the Baltimore Metro Subway and not a great connection.

Bus rapid transit could work for Maryland’s long-awaited east-west transit project. But a Pratt Street alignment would be a mistake.

Congratulations to Tony Bridges on his appointment as the next MTA Administrator. We issued a joint statement with Bikemore laying out our hopes for the transition at this pivotal time for Baltimore-area transit and everyone who relies on it.

The Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, an advocacy group, called the MTA’s bus network the backbone of the region’s transit system in a 2025 interview with the Baltimore Business Journal.

The new hub is part of a state plan to improve bus frequency in Northwest, Northeast and South Baltimore.

We were among 100 co-signatories to America FWD federal transportation reauthorization letter:

"We write in support of a surface transportation reauthorization that will improve safety, increase affordability, and provide all Americans with the freedom to choose how they move. To achieve these outcomes, the next surface transportation law must deliver a fully integrated multimodal transportation system within a generation. The federal transportation program should deliver these outcomes regardless of how funding is raised, allocated, and distributed. Congress must also protect and restore authorized and appropriated funding and awarded grants from any form of clawback to provide communities with promised project benefits and restore public trust."

Senator Van Hollen
Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth
Congressman Kweisi Mfume
Johnny Olszewski
Angela Alsobrooks

TCA is sponsored by Delegate Edelson (HB 437) and Senator Hettleman (SB59) and has already passed the House.

The bill will:

-Create more accountability and transparency for the state's transportation infrastructure budget
-Require the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) to evaluate the climate pollution from all the major capital projects in the state's transportation budget and develop additional clean transportation projects, if necessary, to cut greenhouse gas emissions
-Mandate that new major highway expansion projects over $100 million are designed to offset pollution by funding public transit, bike, and pedestrian infrastructure along with the project
Now it's up to the Senate to get this bill across the finish line. Take action now.
