Last Monday, #NoBoundariesCoalition very own Bemi Byrd spoke about why she is advocating for #MajorLeagueTransit and #BetterTransitNOW.

There is lots more to do to secure funds for the #BMOREBUSplan. A huge shoutout to those who made it to last weeks advocacy action outside #BaltimoreCityHall 🚐🛴🚲💺🚏

One week ago today, transit advocates, riders, supporters, and elected officials gathered outside #BaltCityHall to campaign for #BetterTransitNOW #MajorLeagueTransit & the #BMOREBUSplan.

Lindsey M. of the MD chapter of the @sierraclub.org shares why we need to secure funding for #BMOREBUS.

Amanda's story speaks to why Baltimore needs #BetterTransitNOW. Riders can't wait until the next decade for the frequent, reliable transit service that's long overdue!

Thanks to @govwesmoore, @Itgovarunamiller, @senatormccray, @elect_edelson, @delsheilaruth, @shellyhettleman, @marc_korman & #MDGA for fighting for new @MTA funds! A big step toward #BetterTransitNOW & the #MajorLeagueTransit Baltimore deserves! #TransitJustice #FundTransit

Failing to support @govwesmoore.bsky.social budget & @fairsharemd.bsky.social would be madness! Tell your State Senator & Senate President @billferguson we need #BetterTransitNOW. Find your Senator's contact information here: mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/m...

The impact of Baltimore's insufficient transit service on public school students cannot be understated. Its significance is why @thebaltimorebanner.com spent over a year investigating what's wrong: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-...

We can and must do better. We need #BetterTransitNOW!

According to a new @umbc.bsky.social poll published yesterday, 74% of Marylanders say the availability and quality of public transportation is a high or medium priority. #mdpolitics

Maryland legislators: Are you listening? We need #BetterTransitNOW!

Two weeks ago, Kali Schumitz of the Maryland Center on Economic Policy + Senator Hettleman spoke to rally-goers about @fairsharemd.bsky.social's Fair Share Plan to help fund Baltimore's transit system, and Collington Square EMS teacher Jordan Jones shared what #BetterTransitNOW means to students.

Two weeks ago, Baltimore students descended upon Annapolis for our Transit Riders Rally and let our elected officials know they need #BetterTransitNOW. Why? Because they can't get to school on time.

Check out this morning's @thebaltimorebanner.com story:
Transit nightmare: Thousands of Baltimore kids can’t get to school on time
Unreliable public transportation turns school choice into a false promise.

Last Tuesday, Senator Cory McCray, @sheilaruth.com, and Baltimore Poly senior and Communications Director for ASCBC Qamryn Askew all took time out of their busy schedules to share their reasons why we need #BetterTransitNOW in Baltimore. Thank you!

It’s hard to believe that just one week ago we were all rallying in Annapolis for #BetterTransitNOW in 55 degree weather! ☃️

Special thanks to @mdotmtaholly.bsky.social of @mtamaryland.bsky.social, Bemi Byrd of No Boundaries Coalition, and everyone who shared their Baltimore transit visions with us!
