After several months of public outreach and involvement, the BRTB is pleased to present, for public review and comment, the draft preferred alternative for the amendment to the Baltimore region's long-range transportation plan, Transportation Outlook 2035.

This draft proposes $225 million in funding for regional transit projects, beginning in the year 2020.

The mix of projects includes:

              • Green Line Transit - Preliminary engineering
              • Park-and-Ride spaces - Averaging $10,000/space for 2,000 spaces in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford, and Howard counties
              • Carroll County - Transit vehicles and amenities
              • Intermodal Facilities / MARC stations / Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
                • $10 million/facility average, 3 of 4 (smaller type facilities such as bus to bus: Central Maryland Transit Operations Facility (CMTOF), Columbia, Snowden Square, Parole)
                • $20 million/facility average (larger type facilities such as rail to rail or bus: Lexington Market, or other Baltimore City location)
                • MARC station(s) not currently included in TO2035, i.e. Odenton, West Baltimore, or East Baltimore Development Initiative)
              • Dedicated bus lanes - In congested corridors such as I-695, MD 152, US 29, MD 2

In response to public comment, the projects included in this amendment focus on ways to make the regional transit system more user-friendly and attractive to a broader segment of the region's population and workforce.
