The success of Baltimore's future begins with a world-class transit system. The Red Line is at the core.

If 1,000 people ride the red line that’s going to be 1,000 cars that are off the streets and that’s important to me.

I support surface alignment of the red line on Boston Street because it represents a visible move to a greener Baltimore.

The red line could tie together the metro system and the light rail system that currently exist. It’s a great step forward.

We either plan now to do something about the transportation or watch Baltimore continue to struggle.
