Shoppers are invited to visit MDMerchStore.com to explore the official merchandise collection and explore the many ways to share and display their enthusiasm for taking transit.

“Now it’s easier than ever for Maryland transit fans to celebrate our system,” said Maryland Transit Administrator Holly Arnold. “Our new merchandise store offers our riders a chance to show off their pride in our city and our region.”

With the gift-giving season in full swing, the agency’s first holiday sweater is ready to make every gathering merry and bright.
