Early morning division visits mean early morning @mta.maryland.gov bus and train rides! I'm heading up to our Northwest Division this morning and I'm grateful to the MTA team that is up before the sun to keep the region moving.

Oh no! Thanks for flagging. I'll alert our field team but please also give the operator a heads up. They likely don't realize and can call recovery.

Yes! Baltimore City handles benches through 311. MTA handles shelter requests. You can call 410-539-5000 and they'll get it to the right department. We do have a process that we follow to determine if a stop gets one. You can read about it here: s3.amazonaws.com/mta-website-...

I got a ride to Charles Co. where we discussed progress on the @mta.maryland.gov SMRT project. On the way back I was dropped off at Light Rail & transferred to bus to get home. It was great to chat with our LR operator & see trains running frequently! Plus a beautiful sunset downtown!

This week is the #WeekWithoutDriving challenge. I took my normal bus ride into the office and took @mta.maryland.gov Metro to check on a couple of stations. What transit modes are you using this week (and every week!)?

As of now, based on info provided by DHCD, it is likely that we'll be able to restore light rail early next week but we don't have exact timing. DHCD needs to finish demo & demobilize. Then @mta.maryland.gov will restring the catenary & inspect tracks which takes about 2 days.

Every time a city prioritizes non-car travel, pedestrianizes thoroughfares, expands transit, improves bike networks, implements congestion pricing or creates new public spaces, that city becomes better.

It’s not a war on cars. It’s an effort to make cities better & more livable.

Hey I'm sorry you're dealing with that. We actually adding 3 extra buses to the 94 today due to Defenders day. I'm checking into why they are showing as cut. I do anticipate that they are getting stuck in traffic coming through downtown though.
