Hogan spokesman Doug Mayer said the governor "was elected to bring a balanced approach to transportation, which includes building roads, bridges, and mass transit. That is why the administration invested $2 billion in transportation projects across the state, while moving forward with a more affordable Purple Line, and supporting innovative public transit initiatives like the new BaltimoreLink bus system. As with any taxpayer-funded project, we must be sure that Marylander's hard-earned tax dollars are being spent in the most cost-effective and efficient ways possible."
