Hogan actually has done quite a bit for public transport in the state. Much needed expansion of I-270 and I-495 (all areas currently serviced by DC metro) and further expansion of express I-95 lanes north into Harford County underway. Obviously MagLev from DC to Baltimore is far too expensive but the purple line is being built to connect areas of PG and Montgomery Co. Why does Baltimore need another useless public rail when the subway and light rail are in such a poor state of operation and Baltimore is a dying city

the failure and imminent cancellation of this project can sort of be understood as a benefit for public transportation.

Why do you want to waste time on more highways? Look up induced demand. The wider the highways go, the more traffic jams you get, not less.

Trains & non-car prioritization throughout Baltimore (ie, bus only lights & lanes) plz & thank you.

I live in Canton but commute daily to work in Silver Spring (~45mins each way). Commute used to be to Columbia which was 30mins so ideally would like to move to Riverside/Port Covington as it takes 15mins to get out of the neighborhood and thru the harbor tunnel. What would be even more ideal is for express toll lanes added on I-95 N/S between I-695 and rt 198/200 in Howard Co

So you want more traffic on your commute and you're willing to pay for it. Real genius stuff.

You're probably one of those special people that blamed biden for the global rise in gas prices too.

So you really found a way to make this about biden? It has to be some kind of mental illness to me everything political

Hogan oversees MDOT MTA, who run the metro system. He is responsible for cutting the budget, forcing deferred maintenance, as well as vetoing the legislature's attempts to fund deferred maintenance. So yes, he is directly responsible for conditions that lead to things like derailment.

i'd say it's pretty clear i think that he does NOT do those things.
