"The proposed system would attract a new group of riders and open enormous opportunities for the regional economy to thrive. It calls for six rail lines (rather than the two we have now) and 109 miles rather than the current 43. A report by the Baltimore Regional Partnership identifies enormous opportunities for economic development along the new lines - more than 114,000 new jobs and 34,000 new homes. This is economic activity that won't need to add thousands more cars to our clogged roads."
