Major Transit and Budget Transparency Bills Stall on Last Day of Session April 10, 2025

Sierra Club Maryland Chapter

Speaking for Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility, Dr. Terry Fitzgerald noted: “Not advancing TCA was a missed opportunity to promote a healthier Maryland by changing our transportation mix. Transit is safer. Bike lanes and trails are safer and promote healthy exercise. Decreased miles traveled decreases pollution and therefore heart and lung disease. But we are especially concerned that our society fails to address the truly serious long-term consequences of our greenhouse gases. We are in real danger, but we do not act like it. We must prevent what we cannot cure.”
