About this episode
Holly Arnold discusses the Maryland Transit Administration's strategies for addressing infrastructure and funding challenges in public transit.
On this episode of Spilling the T, we’re joined by Holly Arnold, administrator for the 13th largest transit system in the US, the Maryland Transit Administration. Holly will chat with us about the MTA’s approach to navigating aging infrastructure, funding challenges, fare updates, and how the MTA is working with riders to look towards the future.
