Opinion: Maryland, Virginia and D.C. must work together to deliver transportation solutions for the future

Greg Slater is the Maryland transportation secretary.

More than a half century ago, leaders across Maryland, Virginia and D.C. joined to lay a foundation for a transportation network to move people and goods across the region.

Those leaders may not have envisioned the mega-region that exists today from Richmond to Baltimore, but their efforts launched an interstate highway and rail system that continues to serve as a catalyst for economic opportunity and a high quality of life for residents across all jurisdictions.

Today, leaders in both states and D.C. have the responsibility to maintain, improve and invest in that regional network — and a historic opportunity to redefine it with innovation, technology, choice, equity and environmental awareness to serve our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the generations to come.

I missed the part where we need more bike lanes, roundabouts and rainbow crosswalks. Bike lanes can probably be funded, in good conscience, with Project Open Space funds since they are empty 99.999% of the time. Next up: HOV rental scooter lanes!
