In 2004, BMC's Transportation Planning Division, working with the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB), developed several new and enhanced opportunities for public involvement in transportation planning. In addition to holding a series of public meetings on Transportation 2030, the 2004 Baltimore Regional Transportation Plan, BMC and the BRTB partnered with Morgan State University and the Greater Baltimore Urban League to held a series of eight "listening sessions" to capture the comments and concerns of minority and low-income residents. Information about Transportation 2030 and the Baltimore Region Environmental Justice and Transportation Planning Project (BREJTP) is available at www.baltometro.org. 

An exciting new development in public outreach is the recently-launched electronic newsletter B'More Involved. Packed with news you can use on upcoming meetings and events and other developments in transportation, B'More Involved is e-mailed to subscribers 2-4 times a month. To view previous issues and subscribe, visit www.baltometro.org.

BMC also publishes BRTB Notes, a free bi-monthly newsletter with more detailed information about what's going on in the world of transportation. BRTB Notes is available online at www.baltometro.org.  To receive the newsletter by mail, send a request to mailto:BRTBNotesEditor@baltometro.org, or call 410-732-0500 ext. 1047.
