Some good news for commuters in the Montgomery County area. Governor O'Malley signed the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act of 2013 on Thursday, May 16th.
A list of the transit projects first in line involve one in Montgomery County: I-270/Watkins Mill Road Interchange - for those of us who suffer through the Route 355 traffic to get to Kaiser Permanente's Gaithersburg facility.
And some for MARC, though not the Brunswick Line. The big news is the Baltimore folks will get weekend service on the Penn Line.
The budget will be posted on MDOT.
The bad news is he's paying for it by hiking gas tax at a time when were facing almost $4/gallon in gas prices alone. Estimates say the increased gas tax will be from "13 to 20 cents more per gallon by mid-2016."
