Maryland transportation infrastructure and safety planning

Overview

Maryland is advancing several large-scale transportation and infrastructure initiatives. Early developments focused on expanding regional transit, including the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit (SMRT) project—which received a $5.2 million increase in funding—and the expansion of MARC Train services to provide faster weekday connections between Montgomery County and Baltimore.

While some highway projects in Charles County have faced multi-year delays, the state has since introduced a broader $21.9 billion Consolidated Transportation Program for fiscal years 2027 through 2032. This long-term capital budget emphasizes infrastructure modernization and maintenance. Complementing these capital works, the Maryland Department of Transportation is distributing $14.5 million in federal highway safety grants to nearly 100 agencies to combat impaired and distracted driving and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
