Hi John,

Last week, Wes and I were thrilled to meet with President Joe Biden, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner to celebrate the $4 billion investment for the Frederick Douglass Tunnel.

Funded by the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed into law last year, this is a huge investment in our mass transit, which will create 30,000 jobs in Maryland and improve the speed and service of rail travel through our state.

As a former transportation engineer, I was definitely nerding out a little bit. This is just one step toward putting Maryland on the right track (see what I did there?) to a 21st Century transportation system.

If you’re as excited about this infrastructure upgrade as I am, add your name to thank the Biden Administration for prioritizing this partnership with Maryland. 

Together, Wes and I look forward to continuing to partner with our local communities, state legislators, and federal government to build a transportation network that is safer, cleaner, efficient, and more equitable for Marylanders.
