Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition
Empowering underserved communities in Baltimore
Who We Are
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.
