Take the Morgan State University Key Bridge Survey
How did the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse affect your travel and other aspects of your life? How can government agencies reduce its impact? To help answer these questions, Morgan State University, in partnership with the
University of Maryland and George Mason University would like to invite you to complete an online survey. The survey has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) (#24/04-0129) and, by participating, you have the option to enter a lottery for a chance to win $100, $50 or $25!

Key Bridge Commuting Resources
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge (I-695) has caused traffic patterns to shift, resulting in heavier congestion and increased travel delays for many people in the greater Baltimore area. If you or your employees
are feeling these effects during your commute, visit our Key Bridge Commuting webpage and think differently about potential options that could reduce stress and help save time and money. For employees, this could mean visiting the MTA transit planner, enrolling in Guaranteed Ride Home, or setting up your free Commuter Connections account to find ride matches. For employers, this could mean allowing an extra day of telework, offering compressed work schedules, providing transit pass subsidies, or facilitating vanpools to your work site. There are
significant tax savings for many of these options – we can help you find solutions that work for everyone.
