Getting the Red Line back on track will help people in the Baltimore region meet everyday needs – but only if we work in collaboration with the community.

That's why I'm encouraging the public to attend upcoming open house meetings about the project: mta.maryland.gov/articles/403

We are grateful for the unwavering support and partnership from President Biden in helping us deliver a transportation system that serves all Marylanders.

Today's $20.4M investment will advance rail transit in the Baltimore region and expand our economy in a cleaner, more equitable way.

I met with members of our cabinet and community leaders in Baltimore to move forward with our plan to build the Red Line. I've been clear from the beginning that our administration would revive the Red Line and provide greater public transit to Baltimore. This is going to happen.

Just call me Governor Splash.
