TRANSPORTATION UPDATES: 

Getting 'Round Downtown is About to Get a Lot Easier


 

Beginning this month, Downtown commuters, residents, and visitors will have
two new ways to get where they need to go. 

Charm City Circulator - Purple Route

On Monday, June 7th, the Charm City Circulator's Purple Line will begin
running north/south along the Charles Street corridor between Federal Hill
and Penn Station. Downtown Partnership President, Kirby Fowler, will join
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, City Transportation Director Al Foxx, and
other City officials for a 10 a.m. press conference at Cross Street Market
for the launch of the new route. 

As with the east/west Orange Line, which is already exceeding ridership
projections, the Purple Line is a free, convenient, and
environmentally-friendly way to move throughout Downtown and Midtown
neighborhoods. It will connect riders with transit stops; link residential,
business, and cultural destinations; and give visitors a new way to get from
the Inner Harbor into Mount Vernon. 

We hope you'll take advantage of this fantastic new transit option as soon
as it begins operating on Monday afternoon. 

Become a Zipster - ZipCar is Coming to Downtown 

ZipCar, the popular car sharing company, is bringing a fleet of vehicles to
Downtown later this month. The service is in cities around the country,
including Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, and it already has a small
presence in Baltimore near the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus in Charles
Village. 

It will appeal to visitors and residents who need to take trips that transit
can't accommodate, and it's particularly useful for companies as a
replacement for fleet vehicles. It's just like having a car but without all
the overhead expenses and maintenance. 

ZipCar works on a membership basis. Individuals or companies can join and
will have access to different types of cars that will be parked throughout
Downtown. Where they're parked depends on you. ZipCar parks its vehicles
where there is enough demand, so Downtown Partnership is asking its members
to express their interest in ZipCar. Go to our Facebook page, or email us at
info at dpob.org, and let us know if you or your business would be interested
in becoming a ZipCar member.
