<Title>IMPORTANT: UMBC Transit Route Changes - Fall 2018</Title>
<Tagline>Please clear your browser history/cached to see new schedule</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><strong><u><span>Beginning 08.18.18, the following route
    name, configuration, and scheduling changes will go into effect for UMBC
    Transit routes:</span></u></strong><span></span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p>
    <strong><span><span>Why is This Happening?</span></span></strong></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Arbutus/MARC</span></strong><span> —
    To provide greater access for commuter students to and from the MARC Train
    Stations and the MTA Commuter Bus #201, UMBC Transit has expanded service
    frequencies to the BWI MARC Train station. We have restructured and merged
    the existing BWI MARC and the Halethorpe/Satellite routes into one route
    named <strong>Arbutus/MARC</strong>,<strong> </strong>allowing us to offer regular,
    7-day-per-week service to downtown Arbutus (OCA Mocha) and the greater Arbutus
    Business/Entertainment District.</span><span></span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Courtney Road </span></strong><span>— The
    existing Arbutus/Irvington route will be renamed <strong>Courtney Road</strong>. Additional
    stops have been added to the route to provide greater access to residential and
    commercial points-of-interest in the area (see posted schedule for stops).
    There will be no schedule changes.</span><span></span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Arundel </span></strong><span>— The existing
    Arundel/BWI MARC route will be renamed <strong>Arundel</strong>. This route will
    service Arundel Mills Mall only, as BWI MARC will now be served by
    Arbutus/MARC. The bus stop has been moved to the MTA bus shelter adjacent to
    Best Buy on Arundel Mills Cir.</span><span></span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Route 40</span></strong><span> —<strong> </strong>The existing </span><span>Route 40/Rolling Rd route
    will be renamed <strong>Rt 40</strong>. Additional stops <span>have been added to the route, providing greater access
    to downtown Catonsville and other points-of-interest in both the Rt 40 and
    Edmondson Ave areas. </span>There will be no schedule changes.</span><span></span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Downtown </span></strong><span>­—<strong> </strong>The
    current stop at MLK &amp; Lombard St will be moved to MLK &amp; Pratt St where
    the MTA bus shelter is located.</span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>
    <p><strong><span>Bus Stops Sign On/Off Campus</span></strong></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <blockquote><div><div>
    <p>Shuttle bus routes connecting #RetrieverNation with our college towns - Arbutus, Catonsville, and Baltimore - are now more visible thanks to new, eye-catching black and gold signs that proudly display UMBC's mascot True Grit.  We appreciate our partners at the Baltimore County Planning Department, Maryland Transit Authority (MTA), neighborhood associations, and business associations for their support of this initiative to better define access points for UMBC Transit boarding and highlight our college towns.</p>
    <p><em> </em></p>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>The large, furnished, master bedroom has its own private bathroom with shower sink and toilet. Two closets, desk, dresser, night stand, etc.  The AC system was just replaced, and the rest of the house is great! The basement was just refinished too!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The kitchen has everything you'll need, and has a connected back porch for nice weather cookouts, grilling and chilling.</div>
