Why We Want the Red Line
A GREAT TRANSIT SYSTEM FOR A GREAT CITY
Baltimore is one of America's great cities, with hard-working residents, great neighborhoods and a proud history.
Unfortunately, unlike the other large cities of the Northeast, Baltimore has struggled far too long with an underdeveloped public transportation system — the lifeblood of any great city. This diminishes us. It cuts off neighborhoods, discourages investment, and hurts residents' abilities to get to jobs, school, doctor's appointments, and all the things important in their lives.
The Red Line is a major, forward-looking investment in our city that will connect tens of thousands of residents and dozens of neighborhoods with the rest of the metropolitan area. It will allow access to jobs. It will revitalize neighborhoods. It will make Baltimore more sustainable and attractive over the long-term.
It is the most important missing piece in Baltimore's public transit system.
Read on to see some of the Red Line's biggest benefits.
