MTBMA, Gray & Son Inc. and Martin Marietta are thrilled to share the success of our recent 5K Crusher charity Run! With perfect weather and fantastic turnout of close to 400, we saw growth this year. Not just in participants, but also in donations. Reaching super close to $40k in sponsorships which will provide us the opportunity to support 2 great charities, Baltimore Hunger Project and CONSTRUCTION ANGELS, INC. The space was filled with such positive energy yesterday morning, friends of all ages, abilities of all kinds. Big shout out to our all volunteers who made the weekend run so smoothly, we appreciate you all so very much. Don’t miss out on next year’s run, from the powerful synergy, unity in the community, delicious food trucks, incredible views and much more. 2025 date to be announced soon! 

Heads up! Starting Saturday, June 1, Maryland drivers will face doubled fines for speeding in work zones, increasing to $80. This is a result of the Maryland Road Worker Protection Act of 2024. This crucial piece of legislation was largely driven by MTBMA's active involvement in the Governor's Work Zone Safety Work Group. In January 2025, we will see a tiered system for higher speeding fines, ranging from $60 to $1,000, with doubled fines when workers are present. The act also permits automated speed cameras to enforce limits and protect workers, with funds prioritized for work zone safety equipment. MTBMA has been a champion of work zone safety, and we are optimistic that the increased fines & flexibility around citations will result in safer roads. Thank you to Gov. Wes Moore and Lt. Gov Aruna Miller for prioritizing work zone safety, and a massive thank you to our MTBMA members who have been committed to this important cause. https://lnkd.in/e9t3ADDQ
