Air Quality Report (Conformity Determination)
Additionally, a report titled Conformity Determination of Transportation Outlook 2035 and the 2011-2014 Transportation Improvement Program which looks at the potential impact these transportation projects could have on the region's air quality has been finalized.
The Air Quality Conformity Determination report concludes that implementation of projects in the 2011-2014 TIP and Transportation Outlook 2035 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.

Obligated Listings
The Baltimore Region’s Annual Listing of Obligated Projects was compiled from data provide by the Maryland State Highway Administration and the Maryland Transit Administration. The US Department of Transportation requires an annual listing of projects for which federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year. Obligated projects on this list were not necessarily initiated or completed in the federal fiscal year 2011 but received FHWA or FTA funds in the report. The obligated project costs reflected in this report also may not be equal to final project costs, due to project cost savings, overruns, or advance construct finance process.
