"Transportation Policy Issues Affecting the Baltimore Region"

Why has transportation policy become the focus of efforts to reverse 
Baltimore's decline, unite the region, and save the Bay?  What led to the 
confrontation between regional leaders and the Governor over regional 
transportation policy during the recent legislative session?  Can Baltimore 
really have a rapid transit system modeled on Washington's?  Why is the 
federal transportation reauthorization so critical to the Baltimore region's 
future?  What is really in the Bush Administration's new "SAFE-TEA" proposal?

These and many other questions will be answered by three panel members:
Chris Lynch, Chief of Staff, Office of Congressman Ben Cardin
Anne Perkins, co-chair, Baltimore Region Rail Plan Advisory Committee
Dan Pontious, Director, Baltimore Regional Partnership

The program is sponsored by NDC - New Democratic Club and takes place 
Wednesday, May 28th at 7:30 p.m. at First English Lutheran Church at 39th and 
Charles (use 39th Street entrance).
