Transportation Outlook 2035 Draft Plan

The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) has released a revised draft of the Executive Summary of Transportation Outlook 2035, the long-range transportation plan for the Baltimore region.

Based on significant public input on the need for additional transit and expanded transportation choices, the BRTB reduced the number of highway projects in the plan. These highway projects were deferred within the plan and those project funds were shifted into transit.

Specifically, the members of the BRTB agreed to defer six highway projects to provide additional funding for MARC. Among the proposed improvements to MARC is an East Baltimore station, which will serve the Bayview campus and provide connectivity with a proposed Red Line extension to Bayview.

[If you are interested in seeing what trails are planed look at pg 15 of the executive summary. And kudos to the Mass Transits folks for helping turn the tide on a car centric transportation plan.]
