We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Will you be one of the 5%?

City leaders, including Chief Administrative Officer Faith Leach and representatives from the Maryland Department of Transportation and the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, emphasized the administration’s ongoing efforts to improve transportation safety and accessibility. Since 1996, the city has hosted this event in partnership with regional organizations to foster a biking culture and promote environmental responsibility. The city’s cycling infrastructure has grown significantly, offering nearly 290 miles of biking facilities.

Bike to Work Day also reflects Baltimore’s broader transportation initiatives, such as the dockless shared mobility program introduced in 2019. This program includes e-scooters, e-bikes, and adaptive vehicles, which logged over 1.6 million trips in the past year. The initiative supports cleaner urban mobility and has become a key part of the city’s strategy to reduce vehicle dependency.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?

As part of its commitment to multimodal transportation, the city has enacted the Complete Streets Ordinance to ensure infrastructure accommodates all users—drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit passengers alike. Agencies such as the Maryland Transit Administration continue to invest in bike-friendly improvements to support integrated travel options. Officials stressed that biking is more than recreational—it’s essential for many Baltimore residents who rely on it as their primary means of transportation.
