TESTIMONY
All copies of testimony that TAM has submitted on legislation will be linked below.
House Bill 1344 - Maryland Transit Administration - Locally Operated Transit Systems - Study **TAM PRIORITY**
Senate Bill 674 - Transportation - Regional Transportation Authorities
Summary - TAM approves of the effort to increase local transit funding and considers greater regional integration a worthy endeavor. However, we wish to see amendments that would give currently excluded regions the ability to participate, spell out precisely the status of locally operated transit systems and preserve their independence, and ensure that existing regional transportation agencies are not duplicative of effort with the ones being created in SB 674.
House Bill 58 - Interjurisdictional Paratransit
Summary - TAM has major concerns with House Bill 58 and the burdens it could impose upon TAM members. We advocate amending the bill the remove any mandate to provide interjurisdictional paratransit and instead form a study group to properly measure the unmet need for such transport and the additional resources required.
