Martin O’Malley, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Maryland, has released his plan for transportation and growth policy. If elected, O’Malley promises to restore the Office of Smart Growth, end the Ehrlich-imposed gridlock on major transit projects, address mundane transit issues such as bus timing and MARC railcar acquisition that have been ignored under the current administration, and find new sources of transportation funding to offset the outrageous fiscal requirements of the ICC, among other things.

BeyondDC likes everything about O’Malley’s plan for cities. Ehrlich doesn’t even have a plan for us to review. We’ve made up our mind: O’Malley is the candidate that understands urban issues, and the man who should lead Maryland for the next four years.
