Transportation Outlook 2035 |
New! The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) has released the final version of Transportation Outlook 2035, the long-range transportation plan for the Baltimore region.
|  |
Like many urban areas in the country, the Baltimore region has an extensive transportation network — including highways, city streets, suburban and rural roads, bus lines, train tracks and bicycling paths. All of these modes of transportation have one thing in common: they help people and goods get where they need to go.
A great deal of money and time goes into maintaining and improving these modes of transportation. As a result, it is the responsibility of the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board to update the plan every four years.
The current Long Range Plan - Transportation 2030 - was completed in November 2004 and is intended to guide spending for transportation programs and projects for the next twenty years.
