About Us

The Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition is a resolute, community-led group. Our mission is to supplant structural racism in public transit policy with structural change, to attain equitable, reliable transit and greater environmental, social and economic justice for the Baltimore region. Our anti-racist work was born out of Governor Hogan’s decision to cancel the Red Line project in 2015. That decision – a quintessential example of structural racism in the region – spurred many of the original Red Line planning committee members to action. Shortly after the governor canceled the project, these members gathered with others in the community to form our coalition.

BTEC’s first major initiative was to submit a Title VI administrative complaintto the US Department of Transportation on the grounds that the decision violated the federal government’s anti-discrimination laws established by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. When that complaint was summarily dismissed by the Trump administration in 2016 (without comment), we continued to seek other avenues to develop equitable transit in the region.
