Took a few official timeline histories of the Maryland Transit Administration and started turning the events into a simple dataset https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1TaXSEl4LdkLD5rijmURlFNvmdDxYmCscjJPHfuVMFX8/htmlview
Preparing a talk for new MTA staff on the history of transit in the Baltimore region and I’m pretty amped to make this history into something relevant and accessible.

I made some major changes to the Baltimore City entity reference I shared on here a couple months back.
The Airtable base now lists "assignments" w/ names, agencies, and start/end date for leadership roles https://airtable.com/app1TxhwkepwEygN7/shrsG7ZZ947kG1eDA/tblFmL54X4YOCw1QV/viw5qmxXfPRgVR6QM?blocks=hide
It has a bunch of missing names + dates but it is a good start on a reference that should exist but doesn't. #Baltimore #bmorehistoric #CivicData #OpenBaltimore
For any folks who may be interested, here is the recording of yesterday’s talk: https://youtu.be/t-nqtNVkrQA
And the slides are here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OypZPLqG8lr7Cnt_OJJK_p-NCsryHseAr2YefyBKZeA/edit
Hoping to turn my notes into a blog post or even an expanded essay at some point!

A collection of my idiosyncratic local interests in hashtag form: #sidewalksofbaltimore #Baltimore311 #baltimoredemolition #publicartbalt #BaltimoreModernism #bmorehistoric #OpenBaltimore
I’ll miss the small public archive for each one if this platform switch sticks. But the allowance of longer posts is also an exciting opportunity.
