About the Author
Welcome to the Baltimore-DC Traffic Frustration Blog. This is a place where I will vent about my frustrations driving in the Baltimore/DC area, provide information, and provide solutions.
I don’t profess to be an expert in transportation or in relieving traffic congestion. However, I’ve been driving in this madness long enough to know when enough is enough. I’ve had enough, and this is my way of trying to be a part of the solution rather than the problem.
I know they say that one person can’t make a difference. But I am hoping that perhaps you will read this blog, leave comments, and share it with as many others as you can. I know I’m not the only frustrated driver out there. Together, we can all raise awareness and help to make a difference.

Hi there!
I am a reporter for the Washington Examiner and am looking for D.C. commuters to interview today (May 13) for a story I’m writing about upcoming road construction projects that will add to commuter frustrations.
Can you call me at my desk: 202-459-4913 as soon as you get the chance?
Thanks!
