Maryland Blue Ribbon Commission Recommends $870 Million in New Transportation Funding

Maryland's Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding, appointed by Governor Martin O'Malley, approved a package of recommendations this week, calling for $870 million in new transportation investment to fix crumbling roads and address the nation's worst congestion. The Commission is recommending a constitutional amendment to protect the Transportation Trust Fund from future diversions of funds to non-transportation purposes -- a welcome change from our standpoint. To read more, please read more on the Blue Ribbon Commission website.

DLLR’s State Apprenticeship Training Fund

Please take note of the recently posted announcement from DLLR re apprentice requirements and the 25 cents/hour payment in lieu of certification from a qualifying apprenticeship program. This has been dormant since being enacted during the 2009 Legislative session. MTBMA is in the process of finding reason for such suddenness. Please see attached.
