This is a call to action for all Transportation Association of Maryland members to support our key piece of legislation, House Bill 950.
- Beginning in FY26, House Bill 950 would set funding levels for local transit support at $80,533,314 (the amount allocated in FY24), preventing the repetition of last December’s attempted 40% cut to all state aid to local transit.
- This affects every TAM member – government, non-profit, and private alike, as this year’s proposed cut would have impacted ALL of our funding streams.
- If passed, HB 950 will accomplish, for the first time ever — a mandatory level of funding for your operations from the state.
- As a TAM member, it is critical that you express your support for this legislation. YOUR legislators need to hear directly from you.
In addition to submitting written and oral testimony at the bill hearing, scheduled for March 26th at noon, we highly encourage members to contact all members of the Senate Budget & Taxation Committee via phone or email to let them know why you support this important piece of legislation. You can find information on TAM’s position for this legislation online as well as a template for written testimony.
