Yes, we support all public transportation initiatives that take cars off our highways. The Maryland Transportation Authority under the Maryland Department Transportation, has invested in rail projects such as MARC for many years. Consideration should be given to MARC since they service many smaller towns throughout Maryland and there should be funding available to further develop the MARC system including added parking at many MARC stations.

Additionally, consideration should be given to adding one or two small Park-n-Rail stations to the MARC system. Adding a 15,000 car garage will substantially increase passenger count. A proposed first location could be at the intersection of I-295 and 195 close to the BWI Airport. This station would support Baltimore as well as Washington. Connecting these two cities is essential. We need to make it easy for commuters to use mass transit with easy access parking. This is what Park-n-Rail is all about.
