The newly-launched
Charm City Circulator has attracted more riders than expected in
its first two weeks. It is also drawing rave reviews from people
who have used this free, environmentally-friendly service.
So far, the east/west Orange route is running, taking passengers from the Hollins Market area on the west to Harbor East on the east. Two other routes, including a north/south route from Cross Street to Penn Station, will begin later in the spring. For complete information about the new service and its routes, visit www.charmcitycirculator.com.

Federal Census 2010: IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO BALTIMORE CITY RESIDENTS
Please make sure you
are counted. This year there will be a Federal Census mailed to
you in March by the Federal Government. This census is required
every 10 years. The Federal Census 2010 count will be used to
insure that Downtown and Baltimore City receive their fair share
of grant money for the next 10 years.

New
Circulator a Success!
City
transportation officials were expecting fewer than 1,000 riders
a day, but ridership exceeded 1,200 per day for a total of
approximately 15,000 riders. Officials are also pleased that the
service is meeting its goal of arriving at stops every ten
minutes.
