For Immediate Release – February 12, 2020
Chevy Chase, MD – The Audubon Naturalist Society will submit written testimony in support of SB424 – Maryland Transit Safety & Investment Act (MTA) before the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee Hearing.
ANS Maryland Conservation Advocate Denisse Guitarra is also a speaker at today’s MTA funding rally which starts at 4 p.m. in front of the Maryland House Office Building in Annapolis.
“The Transit Safety & Investment Act will provide a much-needed infusion of funds to make Maryland’s transit systems more reliable, safe and efficient,” Guitarra said. “Funding this act helps us strike a blow against climate change. Instead of more pavement, cars, and sprawl, we need to fully fund transit to move people quickly and safely into a greener, cleaner, more sustainable future. Building more lanes is a mind-boggling and utterly backward move.”
