History 

Howard County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George's County, and the City of Laurel joined in 2014 to create the Central Maryland Transportation & Mobility Consortium to advance their cooperative efforts to maintain an efficient and effective coordinated regional bus system in Maryland. The bus system is the Regional Transportation Agency of Central Maryland (RTA).
