		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Council members were all aboard the budget bus Tuesday evening (4/25/2017) when they reviewed Fiscal 2018 spending plans for the county’s bus transit, senior citizens’ and other programs, even as the services have grown in size and scope. The Council is looking for ways to save money in the upcoming budget year, in an effort to mitigate proposed increases in the county property tax rate and a rise in the “piggyback” income tax rate. But there didn’t seem to be any inclination to trim anything from the $2.58 million it costs the county to operate the Department of Community Services. The department, headed by David Trolio, had a mini-bus service and seniors’ programs at the core of its portfolio for many years, but on his watch the agency has grown to include animal services, health-related programs, youth assistance, housing aid, and broader transportation planning projects as well as greatly expanded bus services. Trolio said he anticipated bus ridership of almost 100,000 seats filled during the current Fiscal 2017 budget year. The department gets most of its financial support from federal and state aid programs, as well as fees paid by bus riders and users of other services, which [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County commuters will get a new bus service—and maybe even a seat if Delaware travelers haven’t snagged them all—to reach the commuter rail station in Perryville, but extending the rail line to Elkton and beyond is being stalled yet again, state transportation leaders told Cecil County officials recently. And state officials dismissed a growing clamor by local elected officials, from State Sen. Steve Hershey (R-36), Perryville Mayor Jim Eberhart, and County Council members to alleviate traffic nightmares and rush-hour jams on roads near the Hatem Bridge by allowing Hatem EZ passes to be used on the I-95 Tydings bridge over the Susquehanna River during rush hours. Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn was accompanied by a gaggle of state roads and transit officials, including one who apparently thought the Aberdeen Proving Ground was in Cecil County as he touted a new Baltimore to APG commuter bus line. (Uh, wrong county, wrong direction to benefit Cecil commuters…) Cecil County leaders and Elkton town officials have long sought extension of the MARC commuter rail line, which now ends in Perryville and is the only passenger rail gap in the entire Northeast rail corridor. Re-instating service to Elkton, and extending service into nearby [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County registered record numbers of traffic fatalities last year—and pedestrian death rates were the worst in Maryland—but the county administration recently shifted transportation project priorities away from road safety improvements, especially along Route 40 where many fatalities have occurred. Gerry Widdoes, the Chief Deputy for the Cecil County Sheriff’s Department, recently advised the County Council of traffic fatalities data compiled by the agency for 2015, showing 16 traffic fatalities on local roads, up from 14 in 2014. In an interview with Cecil Times, Widdoes, the second-ranking law enforcement official in the department, said that four pedestrian deaths were recorded, resulting in a population-adjusted death rate that was the highest in the state of Maryland. The overall traffic fatalities rate was the 8th worst in the state, on a population-adjusted basis. Cecil County’s traffic fatalities rate was twice the state average, according to Widdoes. “It’s one of the saddest statistics,” he observed. Many of the incidents occurred in areas with no sidewalks or road shoulders for pedestrians to use and some of the victims were homeless or transient people. Overall, 3 of the total traffic fatalities involved victims who were “alcohol-impaired.” Concerns over rising traffic fatalities and car [&#8230;]]]></description>
