FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BRTB Accepting Applications to Fund Projects to Reduce On-Road Vehicle Emissions BALTIMORE (January 3, 2011) -  The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) is now accepting applications for vehicle emission reduction projects and programs to be funded through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) authorized the BRTB to award up to $800,000 in CMAQ funding to eligible applicants to develop and implement transportation programs and projects that will reduce the vehicle emissions that contribute to air pollution in the Baltimore region. This is the third time that the BRTB will select projects for CMAQ funding.   Public agencies in the Baltimore region and public-private partnerships with local jurisdictions are eligible to apply. CMAQ grants will cover up to 80 percent of the total cost for a local jurisdiction project, and up to 50 percent of the total cost for a public-private partnership project. All matches for grant amounts must be made in cash. Maryland state agencies may apply, but preference will be given to projects with local agency sponsors. All projects selected must be new or currently undergoing development. Types of eligible projects include but are not limited to retrofits for school buses, transit buses and heavy duty diesel trucks, and clean fuel/hybrid transit buses and other vehicles. A complete program overview and application are available at www.baltometro.org. Applications must be received by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22nd. After a competitive review process, winning applicants will be notified in early May of 2011. The CMAQ program, which is administered by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration, assists state and local governments in attaining federal air quality standards established by the Clean Air Act and its amendments. The Baltimore region does not meet federal standards for ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter. Transportation is a major contributor to ozone pollution, which can make breathing difficult for anyone, especially children and the elderly.  Particulate pollution is even more serious, and has been implicated in heart as well as lung problems. For more information about the CMAQ program, contact Sara Tomlinson at 410-732-0500 x1035 or cmaqinfo@baltometro.org.  # # # Baltimore Regional Transportation Board   |   Baltimore Metropolitan Council Working to improve the quality of life in the Baltimore region. www.baltometro.org The Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) is the organization of the region's elected executives who are committed to identifying regional interests and developing collaborative strategies, plans and programs which will improve the quality of life and economic vitality throughout the region. The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) is the federally- recognized Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for transportation in the Baltimore region. BMC provides technical and staff support to the BRTB.    Barbara Herron  Communications Officer   410-732-9564  bherron@baltometro.org

US Senate a complete joke (and what to do about it) Paul Keating once referred to the Australian Senate as "unrepresentative swill". But for an equivalent description of the US Senate you'd have to pass Keating and go directly to Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson. Because the US Senate is a massive joke - and not a witty, urbane Oscar Wilde kind of joke. More like a painful, soul-destroying Little Fockers kind of joke. To explain why, let's take a step back... Sailing towards a dream The focus of the Sydney to Hobart should not be solely on the first yacht to cross the line, which is only the tip of the race's iceberg. The future is a game to be played For some, the job title 'futurist' isn't self-appointed and hobbyist. Many corporations spend serious money employing such people to work out what we'll be doing, and what we'll need to do it, 10 or 20 years from now. But whatever the vision, making life more fun is almost always a part of it. Don't mess with online retailing The Federal Government should not do anything that threatens the growth of online retailing. Rationality, religion and atheism Religious teaching, insofar as it seeks to influence the political sphere, should be subject to rational scrutiny, argues Russell Blackford. For those of us cultured upon the understanding that all teachings must be subject to rational scrutiny this may not be a ground-breaking thesis. It is nevertheless an argument increasingly made by advocates of a 'new' atheism. Applying scrutiny to the argument itself however reveals that behind the innocent promotion of rationality lie many cobwebs that betray such an advocacy.
