COMMUNITY ADVISORY TEAM

What is the Community Advisory Team or “CAT”?

Community Advisory Team (CAT) is a group of individuals who will bring voices and perspectives from the full range of affinity groups and neighborhoods living, working, and investing along the Red Line transit corridor. The CAT will serve as a vital link between the Maryland Transit Administration’s Red Line team and the diverse communities of the greater Baltimore region.

What is the CAT’s role?

  • Bring a range of perspectives from diverse communities into the Red Line process to promote the flow of information and ideas.
  • Share opportunities for partnerships with local groups/organizations.
  • Help identify community assets, characteristics, and needs that could be impacted by the Red Line.
  • Advise the Red Line team on approaches and methods for successful local engagement.

CAT Expectations and Commitment

While we hope that CAT members will serve throughout the duration of the Red Line project, we are asking for a minimum of a two year commitment.

  • Attend CAT meetings and specialty work sessions or educational events that align with Red Line activities.
  • Collaborate and partner with parallel community involvement activities including internship, Station Area Advisory Committee and workforce development initiatives.
  • Join The Red Line team for occasional travel as possible.
  • Ensure the community is informed about Red Line development process and the decisions involved.

On what basis will CAT members be selected?

CAT is intended to serve the community and therefore the team will include members who live, work, or invest in the project area including active community members and small business owners. Selection criteria places a high priority on those who:

  • Represent underserved communities.
  • Represent geographic diversity along the corridor.
  • Have attended a Red Line open house, outreach event or been involved in the original project.

You can reach out to our team with questions by emailing us at outreach@redlinemaryland.com or calling us at (443) 475-0687 and leave us a voicemail.

STAYING ENGAGED

We are committed to a robust, transparent community engagement process built around equitable opportunity to both access information and inform the project as it advances. We will be reaching out to communities early and often; we have a team in place to make sure that engagement is targeted and timed appropriately so that communities can directly impact the decisions that are most relevant to them.

While outreach and engagement will be ongoing throughout the project, there are two periods of focused public engagement planned in 2023 during July-August and October-November to align with project milestones and decision-making. Information will be posted to the website and social media as public engagement opportunities, including pop-up events and workshops, are scheduled. Outreach materials and surveys from in-person events will also be made available through the website and on social media.
