WHAT:
The average driver in the Frederick-Hagerstown area loses $1,770 annually as a result of driving on roads that are deteriorated, congested, and that lack some desirable safety features, according to a new report from TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit based in Washington, DC.
Local speakers will join TRIP at a virtual news conference on Wednesday to highlight the report’s findings. The report, “Maryland Transportation by the Numbers: Meeting the State’s Need for Safe, Smooth and Efficient Mobility,” examines road and bridge conditions, congestion, economic development, highway safety, traffic congestions, and transportation funding statewide and in the Baltimore and Frederick/Hagerstown urban areas and the Maryland DC suburbs.
