The excitement of BRAC expansion is finally becoming real to residents of Anne Arundel County, particularly west county, as we move closer to the February occupancy of DISA's headquarters building. But the issue that has yet to be adequately addressed - nor can it with current resources - is the transportation network necessary for BRAC employees to reach Fort George G. Meade without significant backups. |

By RYAN JUSTIN FOX, Capital Newspaper, Staff Writer
Published 06/06/10
State and county officials this week rolled out plans for a guaranteed free ride-home program for federal employees coming to Fort George G. Meade next year and fixes for dilapidated roads just outside the post that will start this summer. The plans should alleviate some of the massive traffic congestion expected to hit the Fort Meade region next year when more than 5,000 new federal employees move to the installation through the federal Base Realignment and Closure process. |

Capital Mobility
By Dave Humphreys, Writer, Capital Newspaper
Published 6/5/10
Those who know me understand my "sign and can of paint" philosophy but sometimes things aren't that simple. I'd like to apply some deeper thinking to the current transit and budget related problems reported upon and editorialized in The Capital. Bus transit operations are one of several important mobility functions performed by a municipal Department of Transportation. Unfortunately, Annapolis lacks a real DOT and has mobility related functions spread out over multiple departments with no one in charge and no one thinking comprehensively about transportation issues. |

She also inherited a system beset by funding troubles, caused largely by the recession, and facing pressure to fund new megaprojects throughout the region. She spoke with Corridor Inc. about those challenges. |

Corridor Inc.
May 2010 edition
By Tom LoBianco - Corridor Inc. writer
When lawmakers left the 2007 special session, they touted huge increases in transportation funding they said would start to put a dent in the massive backlog of projects, which remained unpaid for. When state lawmakers left the 2010 session, they had gutted a fund to support local road projects and the hundreds of millions of dollars that had been promised for transportation just a few years earlier but had never materialized. |
