How will you get around? Will you walk, bike, drive, or take a bus, a train, or even a ferry?

Decisions made today help to determine the future. That is why The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) and the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) are pleased to invite citizens and organizations from all around the Baltimore region to take part in a groundbreaking series of public workshops to imagine the future of transportation.

This initiative, called imagine 2060, will facilitate a dialogue about how to plan for the Baltimore region we want to create for future generations. The BRTB will be reaching out to hear what you have to say about the future of transportation in the Baltimore region. Over the coming months the BRTB will

• engage the public in a variety of ways;
• conduct technical analyses of the impacts of alternative transportation and land development scenarios; and
• develop consensus on a preferred scenario for the vision.　

Imagine 2060, grew out of the BRTB’s desire to work with community leaders and other regional stakeholders to develop general agreement on goals and values for a balanced 21st century transportation system. In addition, a key focus of the imagine 2060 is to improve accessibility for all and promote livable and sustainable communities throughout the metropolitan area.

A workshop was held in each of the region’s six jurisdictions during April and May. Participants had an opportunity to share their values and ideas about how future transportation initiatives can make the region a better place to live.

To sustain our high quality of life, we must look at how we grow and how we are connected. The BRTB provides a forum for decisions on transportation investments. The input gathered in imagine 2060 will guide the development of the federally mandated, financially constrained 2011 Baltimore Region Long-Range Transportation Plan.
