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

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 problem is Maryland cannot properly operate a functioning rail system. I’ve given up on using light rail link after my last trip from BWI. I waited over 55 minutes for a train to arrive when the schedule online stated for 3 cars to depart in that period. The passengers that day also were another reason. I was approached three different times at the BWI terminal asking for money and then a man in his 40s had a baby who might have been no older than 3 weeks old in a stroller, screaming and crying the entire ride and did nothing about it. I’ll be taking an Uber or taxi to BWI from here on out ✌🏻

Also express toll lanes are being added in the DC region on I-270 and I-495, when DC already has Metro that connects all of the areas where express lanes are being added.
