Travel Resilient

Pub­lic trans­porta­tion is an impor­tant tool for reduc­ing air pol­lu­tion, energy con­sump­tion, and green­house gas emis­sions.

With increasing range, lower operating costs, outstanding performance and acceleration, and an enjoyable driving experience, electric vehicles are gaining popularity.

These include public fixed-route services, specialized transportation for seniors and individuals with disabilities, and volunteer-driven transportation for older adults. For more information on these services or other private transportation options, residents can contact the Maryland Access Point of Howard County at 410-313-1234.

Keep an emergency supply kit in your car. Plan long trips carefully and listen to the radio or television for up-to-date weather forecasts and road conditions. In bad weather drive only if absolutely necessary. 

Prepare and adequately stock vehicles when traveling during extreme cold weather and when severe winter storms are forecasted.
