The U.S. Department of Transportation has rejected Maryland’s application for a $76 million federal FASTLANE grant that would have helped pay for new Interstate 95 exit ramps and created better access to Baltimore’s Port Covington development, spearheaded by Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, The Baltimore Sun reported.
This year’s available FASTLANE funding was $800 million, not quite a tenth of the $9 billion in funding requests represented by 200 applications. The USDOT whittled down the pool of applications to 18 winners.
