Transportation for Maryland coalition meeting (Baltimore)

From email, but I assume that Transportation For America is working on building state level campaign affiliates to work for the passage of the next transportation enhancements bill, which was supposed to expire this year, but has been continued/extended for 18 months:

Help Shape National Transportation Policy! After National Health Care reform, the next big issue for legislators, the White House, and stakeholders from around the country could be Transportation Reform. How should Congress allocate an expected $400-500 billion in transportation funds over six years? Will public transit and other transportation choices receive enough funding?

We invite you to learn the latest about the federal transportation debate and how it affects Maryland. You can also learn about and join a new "Transportation for Maryland" coalition that is working with the federal Transportation for America organization to push for:

• Establishing better accountability and transparency in the State and Federal transportation processes.
• Leveling funding for all modes of travel
• Creating a transportation system that helps achieve climate, energy and employment goals.
