Baltimore fare-free circulator a success

Baltimore Sun: "Even in its somewhat budget-trimmed version, the Charm City Circulator has injected a welcome burst of fresh air into a stagnant urban transit picture. The jaunty Circulator has made a difference along the Charles Street corridor. It has done an amazing job of knitting neighborhoods together. I've been amazed at the way it has been embraced and defended."

Public transportation is vital in Prince William

Potomac Local: "Public transportation is a vital service to any community that hopes to thrive and attract residents and job creators.  As our children grow up, start families of their own and enter the workforce, it is very clear that their needs and values are different than ours were.  They want town centers and activities.  They prefer communities with the option of public transportation.  If Prince William County hopes to be a community of choice in the years to come, to offer the value proposition that will attract families and businesses, our local government must invest in public transportation."
