COMPLAINT PURSUANT TO TITLE VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 1 On June 25, 2015, Maryland Governor, Larry Hogan, announced that the State had cancelled construction of the Red Line, a light rail line set to run east-west through the Baltimore region, and that all state funding for it would be redirected to a newly-created Highways, Bridges, and Roads Initiative, focusing on road projects in rural and suburban parts of the state.1 In doing so, Maryland forfeited $900 million in federal funds designated for the Line and abandoned a twelve-year planning process on which the State and federal government had expended approximately $288 million.2 A transportation economist, using Maryland’s own travel model, found that whites will receive 228 percent of the net benefit from the decision, while African Americans will receive -124 percent. The decision to cancel the Red Line and divert the resources elsewhere was only the latest in the State’s long historical pattern of deprioritizing the needs of Baltimore’s3 primarily African-American population,4 many of whom are dependent on public transportation.5 1 Michael Dresser & Luke Broadwater, Hogan Says No to Red Line, Yes to Purple, Balt.

  • Appendix H: Transit Study Review
    Appendix H: Transit Study Review A review of previous transit studies reveals that many have tried, with varying degrees of success, to address the issue of how to improve the regional transit system. Appendix H - Transit Study Review Review of Studies/Reports Baltimore Metropolitan Council staff scanned and compiled a variety of documents to inform this exercise. A subject- based search of the Regional Information Center, housed within the offices of BMC, found more than 200 reports, the oldest of which dates to the 1930s. A manual sort was undertaken to determine the relevance, and to set the priority, of each report for review. An initial list was created and distributed to solicit recommendations for additional relevant studies and reports. A second list resulted which included transit-specific studies and reports, including transit service plans as well as general plans / comprehensive plans. The narrative below summarizes and provides a general historical context from the most germane studies/reports. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN CITIES In 1938, the Maryland State Planning Commission issued a report, Five Years of State Planning, that identified pressing needs and a choice of courses that the state could take to alleviate and offset future problems1. Its focus was on the demands that Maryland’s growth would create on land, water, and public and social infrastructure. At that time, Baltimore’s transit network was in the hands of a private company, and, unlike highway development, was not seen as a concern to the state. There was recognition that if growth were not “controlled” it would result in premature subdivision of rural areas and in “stringtown growth” along state and local highways.

  • History of MDOT MTA and the Lots System
    History of Transit Organization in the Baltimore Region Transit Agencies and Service Development in the Baltimore Region OVERVIEW The Baltimore Regional Transit Governance and Funding Study will develop alternatives for how the region could structure, organize, and fund regional transit services. The approach to developing these alternatives includes working with the Baltimore Regional Transit Board (BRTB) through an iterative process of research, analysis, and stakeholder input to ensure that the alternatives are grounded in experience, respectful of history and constraints, but creative enough to recognize opportunities. This technical memo, the first in the series, focuses on the history and development of transit services in the Baltimore Region. The first step involves focusing on the history and development of transit Image from Creative Commons: ETLamborghini services in the Baltimore region to understand how the existing service network came to be and provides the context for why some regional services are operated by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) and others by Locally Operated Transit Systems (LOTS). Our goal is that by understanding the historical perspective, we will understand the transit network, its origins and evolution and its current form. The overview and historical perspective include the development and evolution of: • State leadership for local transit services in the City of Baltimore. • State leadership for regional transit services, including the MARC commuter rail system and the Commuter Bus program.
