The national transportation funding crisis will be at the top of the agenda as the Greater Baltimore Committee holds its 2009 Regional Transportation Summit Thursday, June 25, from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the  Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel.

Among the speakers at the conference will be U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-7th); Johns Horsley, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and  former Pittsburgh Mayor Thomas Murphy.

Regional leaders will discuss the implications for Maryland and Baltimore as Congress takes up a new multi-year transportation funding bill at a time when the gas tax is  an increasingly unreliable source of revenue.

The charge is $50 per person for GBC members and $85 for non-members. Register by calling Mickie Gray at 410-727-2820, ext. 28
