Serious About Safety: A Message from MDTA Executive Director Bruce Gartner

This month’s Serious About Safety message comes from Maryland Transportation Authority Executive Director Bruce Gartner, who reminds us that every traveler deserves to arrive safely. As fall approaches, we’re encouraging Maryland drivers to keep their charm behind the wheel.

With students returning to school and more commuters traveling Maryland’s roadways, traffic can become busier. Stay alert, remain patient, and give yourself a few extra minutes to reach your destination. Let’s keep our roads safe this fall and continue to be Serious About Safety!
