How’s your highway commute? Or -- does your bus arrive on time? Is there enough room? The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board has a new plan called 'Resilience 2050: Adapting to the Challenges of Tomorrow,' and wants to know what users think about it. We talk with Mike Kelly, Baltimore Metropolitan Council president and Todd Lang, Director Of Transportation Planning at BMC, to learn more. Plus, the ‘Transportation Equity Act’ is now law - Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition president Samuel Jordan explains the power behind the new law.
