Issue Position

Maryland needs a comprehensive long-term transportation plan that is economically and environmentally balanced. The continued growth of the Baltimore/Washington economy and the emergence of new transportation technologies make improved transportation planning a must. Existing state, regional and local bus and rail systems need to be more fully integrated.

New rapid bus transit needs to be added to connect key employment locations with existing MARC and commuter routes A regulatory framework that permits the timely, but safe, introduction of new technologies, such as driverless cars, needs to be developed.
