The traffic trap The Chesapeake Bay region is becoming more crowded.
More people live here today than ever before.
In the next 20 years, another 3 million people will live here. More people means more cars and trucks as we commute to work, go shopping, take the kids to school, ship the goods we use, and go where we want to go. Today, the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan region has the nation's second worst traffic and ozone problems. Our traffic problems aren t just in the number of vehicles. They come from how our communities grow.
