Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced that the Maryland Transit Administration will provide free MARC and Commuter Bus service to federal workers during the ongoing federal government shutdown. The governor made the announcement at a resource fair in Howard County, where state and local agencies were present to administer resources for federal workers and their families.

The free service will be provided from now through the remainder of the federal government shutdown, and any individual with a federal ID badge can ride for free by showing their badge to the operator.

“Since day one of this shutdown, Maryland lawmakers across the federal, state, and local delegations have stood united in the fight to protect all Marylanders,” said Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth. “Thank you to Governor Moore and County Executive Ball for being incredible partners throughout these uncertain times and for your swift response to this moment. I’m proud to work with such dedicated leaders to provide the best support for our hard-working civil servants and constituents each and every day.”
