Hogan's massive cuts to the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) & refusal to fund the WMATA. Friends of Maryland Transit (FoMTs) is a grassroots organization committed to the support and expansion of transit throughout Maryland. This organization was started by a concerned group of citizens who ride and work in transit throughout Maryland and are worried we are losing this very essential SERVICE
(not business). Our transit system essential for millions of Marylanders including many who use the services as their only form of transportation; to reduce traffic & harmful emissions; travel between our major metropolitan areas; transportation of our seniors & persons with disabilities who are unable to drive; operators & employees who love theirs jobs serving Marylanders; those wanting to travel long distance across the state without the traffic & hours behind the wheel; those who want to avoid the costs & hassle of parking; transportation when you can't or shouldn't drive; daily commuters & those who want to avoid rush hour traffic; transportation in rural areas where there are no car services; our children going too & from school; students going to college unable to afford education & a car; transportation to & from large sporting events; looking of inexpensive transportation to save money; transportation to our government agencies & those officials who represent us; so much more & event for things we don't know yet. We will hold our elected officials accountable to ensure this service is protected and properly funded:
Especially Gov. Hogan and his cronies who seem to be determined to dismantle all transit and divy up what's left to those you donated to his campaign. Make sure riders are informed of these changes which his administration feels they don't even need to inform. Show their lack of interest to keep riders safe during a pandemic. Last we check our transit system doesn't belong to the people of Maryland not to Larry Hogan and his friends to do with as they please. We will make Hogan listen and demand he fully fund Transit, all projects which he gutted after we had them funded, and continue the expansion of transit to our State can continue to grow. We will make sure in the future Hogan has to adequately inform and gain input from those who need the services that transit provides. Not simply say he consulted the people, then proceed to tell us what is best for the people of Maryland. Hold Hogan accountable for misuse of funds earmarked for transit projects, using a pandemic to further his agenda to cut and privatize transit, and the endangering the lives of Marylanders because he doesn't want to fund cleaning of busses and trains. Remind him you can't tell us to only use transit for essential travel then turn around and that no is using transit or that it's operating in the "red." Larry Hogan you're the Governor of all Marylanders not just those who don't use transit. The MTA and WMATA are services not a business and certainly not yours to do with as you please. Hogan seems to be no better than Trump lying and misleading us to further his own agenda. We ask all those who support transit in Maryland to support this organization. If you don't use transit I'm sure you have family and friends that do and you should support them. So Like, Follow, Share, and support us financially, if you are able, if you want to see transit survive and grow into the future.
