The Greater Baltimore Committee and Greater Washington Partnership launched the Baltimore’s Transit Future campaign in 2022 to call attention to the urgent business imperative and need for the Baltimore Region to realize a world-class transit system that creates shared economic prosperity and catalyzes inclusive growth.
The time for action is now. The residents and businesses of Maryland’s largest city and surrounding suburbs deserve a world-class transit system. These six strategic priorities will set the course for a more equitable transportation system, making the Baltimore region a more attractive place to live, work, play, and build a business.
Addressing the transit system’s repair backlog and operator shortage;
Establishing frequent, reliable transit service to regional job centers;
Supporting regional coordination, decision making, and funding;
Implementing a 10-year rapid transit expansion program;
Prioritizing regional rail investment; and
Catalyzing equitable development at transit rail stations.
