Transportation Improvement Program 2010-2013
FY 2010-2013 Transportation Improvement Program & Air Quality Report
Nearly $1.4 billion dollars worth of transportation projects and improvements was proposed in this transportation program, approved July 28, 2009 by the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board.
What is the Transportation Improvement Program?
The 2010-2013 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Baltimore region contains a list of transportation priorities and projects for which federal funding will be requested over the next 4 years. Projects are drawn from recommendations in the long-range transportation plan for the Baltimore region.
What's New in FY2010?
New projects added for FY 2010 include Lexington Market transit improvements, Mobility bus implementation, deck replacement of the Abingdon Road bridge, and overhaul of Metro railcars.
Examples of other projects include:
- All new MTA replacement buses will be hybrid
- Repaving area roads
- Bridge repairs and painting
- Sections of the Jones Falls and Herring Run trails
- Beltway widening
- Improved traffic lights and coordinated signal systems
- Planning for the proposed Red Line
Impact on Air Quality
An air quality report looking at the potential impact these transportation projects could have on the region's air quality is also available.
The final Air Quality Conformity Determination report concludes that implementation of projects in the 2010-2013 TIP does not worsen the region's air quality or delay the timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards. The pollutants addressed in the report include ozone, fine particulate matter, and carbon monoxide.
The final TIP and Air Quality reports are available online in PDF format:
