Fears that huge mass transit projects would be on the chopping block never materialized as Hogan left enough money in his transportation budget to continue design of the Red Line and Purple Line transit projects. While they are still alive, the session ended without a commitment to build them.

The popular ride-sharing company Uber got a big legislative win as a specially tailored bill to regulate it differently than taxi companies passed late Monday.

Motorists were denied a chance at cheaper gas taxes as Hogan was unsuccessful at persuading the General Assembly to end automatic increases. He also could not deliver on a larger share of transportation spending to local road projects.

The General Assembly passed a bill allowing transportation officials to raise the speed limit to 70 on Maryland highways.
