Who We Are
Connecting People To Opportunities
The Central Maryland Transportation Alliance was formed in 2007. We are a transportation advocacy organization with an agenda to improve and expand transportation options for the residents and businesses of Central Maryland. We advocate for policies and infrastructure that make our transportation system work better for everyone.
