Again this year, the first since the implementation of PlanMaryland and MdTA toll increases, the Board recognizes the fiscal challenges that we jointly face, as well as significant opportunities. We also remain mindful of the potential ripple effects that BRAC-related employment and population growth could have on all modes in our transportation network. Our continued recognition of the broader relationship between transportation and air quality, congestion mitigation, and providing more livable and sustainable communities with better linked land use and transportation leads us to the following top four priorities: Redesign and construct a new Route 2224-95 interchange, to include an upgraded bridge over I- 95. Extend the MARC Penn Line commuter rail service from Perryville to Elkton, Newark, and Wilmington. Improve the MD 2 13/ US 40 intersection.
